About the indicator

The number of applications for a patent filed by residents of a country with a national or regional patent office during the year. An application is not a patent: the share of titles actually granted differs across countries and offices. The indicator reflects inventive activity, but it is sensitive to national patenting practice, which in some countries is encouraged administratively.
