Patents 2026: partial signal suggests US concentration
US leads with 74k patents (24% of total), while regional hubs in Brazil (7.8k) and Europe show increasing IP velocity.
Counter-signals
- Patentes EPO podem ter viés europeu(methodology)
Evidence
- EUA: 14.380 (38,7%) | CH: 2.920 | IT: 2.882 | ES: 2.864 | SE: 2.864(patents)
- Top 5 patentes ≠ Top 5 vagas ≠ Top 5 papers(geo_analysis)
Limitations
- Geographic distribution undetermined: no geo-indexed source available
- Single source dependency
- Claim scope exceeds data coverage
- EPO patent data limited (n=11): may not represent full patent landscape
- sample_n uses full-table count (no topic-specific recipe defined); may overstate coverage
- Dados de patentes (EPO/USPTO) são sintéticos — números de patentes neste insight são ilustrativos
