Note: a) Values earlier than 2018 are not considered. OECD value: where the OECD aggregate is not provided in the source database, a simple OECD average of latest available data is calculated where data exist for a significant number of countries. b) Higher-value inventions that have sought protection in at least two jurisdictions. c) Excluding emissions/removals from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF).
