How this figure is calculated
Patent applications, nonresidents divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Patent applications, nonresidents ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Patent applications, nonresidents WIPO Patent Report: Statistics on Worldwide Patent Activity, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), note: The International Bureau of WIPO assumes no responsibility with respect to the trans
