The original inforgraphic and accompanying article can be found in LensVid Exclusive: What Happened to the Photography Industry in 2014?.

I came across two very professional looking infographics from colleagues this week. The colleagues are not designers, so I was very impressed with their work!

It turns out that they both used Venngage.

I must give it a try the next time that I think that I need an infographic!

I received this image over the weekend (I assume that it came from How Angry Birds Started):

How Angry Birds Started (Copyright Funders and Founders)

I must confess that I have never played Angry Birds, but I still like the story of continuously trying!

There are lots of other nice infographics on Funders and Founders.

Which country had the most patent applications last year? The US! Which country was next?

Which company was the most US patent applications last year? IBM. What other companies were in the top 20?

To see more interesting, and some fun, US patent application statistics see this excellent infographic from AcclaimIP:

The original version, including a high resolution PDF, is in 2013 US Patent Statistics Infographic.

FRKelly has produced a nice infographic in Ireland as a Patent Nation showing Ireland’s prowess as a patent filing nation (click to see larger version):

I think that the breakdown between academic institutions, individual inventors, and corporate bodies is the most interesting statistic.

I was generally using the font types as suggested here, but I never stopped to think why!

A friend brought this interesting infographic from Which Countries Pay Its Teachers What They’re Worth? to my attention this week (click image to see larger version):

Who Pays Teachers Best for their Time?

I expected that Ireland would have been higher on the right hand side!

I hope everybody is having a merry Christmas! I know I am :)

Anyway, here is a nice infographic by MBA Online charting the rise of Android (click image to see larger version):

I have heard it before, but it still fascinates me that Microsoft makes more money from Android than from Windows Mobile due to patent royalties!
