Total patents in EPO

The indicator shows the number of total granted patents in EPO. According to WIPO, a patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. To get a patent, technical information about the invention must be disclosed to the public in a patent application.

GDP per Capita (ppp)

This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population for the same year.

Gross domestic product (GDP)

Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period.

Gross domestic product (ppp)

The GDP derived from purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations. Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a condition between countries where an amount of money has the same purchasing power in different countries.

Number of national nanotechnology standards

Standard is a document, established by consensus and approved by a recognized body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context. National nanotechnology standard is a nanotechnology related standard that is adopted by a national standards body and made available to the public.
