SEOUL: A new report from Lux Research has found that over the past five years, Samsung Electronics has filed more patents for wearable technology than any other company.
Between 2010 and May 2015, the Korean firm accounted for four percent of the more than 41-thousand patents filed.
Apple accounted for just two. Two percent.
The vast majority — more three quarters — were filed by independent creators.
Samsung Electronics is working on a new Smartwatch called Orbis.
Officials say it should be unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note 5 in the autumn.
