It was thought in this study that it was important to analyze the countries' economic situation and patent production based on their information transfers via their success rankings in PISA, which determined their success internationally. Therefore, it was aimed to analyze the countries' success in participation into the PISA 2012. Case study design, one of the types of qualitative research, was used in the study. Document analysis was used for data collection instrument and data analysis. The countries in the study were analyzed according to PISA success rankings, patent application numbers, registered patents and gross national products. The study findings stated that patent application averages were parallel with their PISA success rankings for some countries like China, Turkey etc. Moreover, while the countries with the highest gross national product averages had parallel patent production, it was seen that the countries like Indonesia with high gross national product were not at similar levels in terms of both patent production and success rankings in PISA because of its population. According to the study results, it was suggested that Turkey's and other countries' patent circulations could be analyzed until 2012 comparatively, and the relationship between patent production and research-development works should be investigated.
