EU patents<\/strong>: Europe has been losing ground in innovation over the past two decades. While there are still technologies where European countries are in a good position, they need to improve in the field of digitalization. Here is a summary of the findings from our new study<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Using an innovative methodology to investigate the innovation landscape<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We took the top ten percent of active patents in 58 cutting-edge technologies between the year 2000 and 2019. We took into account market coverage<\/strong> (a larger market weighs more), patent citations by official examiners<\/strong> (in relation to all citations of the concerning year), and the active patent portfolio<\/strong> (only those patents which are not outdated and where the fees are paid). This approach offers a more realistic image of the worldwide patent situation as only those that are really important get counted.<\/p>\n
