Patents applied for

Flemish Region, European and other countries, 2015, number per million residents

Note: Luxembourg is the only country in this graph that is home to fewer than one million residents. To determine the number of patent applications per million residents, the absolute number of patents therefore needs to be divided by a factor of less than 1 (in other words: multiplied by a factor greater than 1). For this reason, the actual number of patents is smaller than the figure shown next to the ‘number of patent applications per million residents’ indicator.
