Corrections and revisions

By adding annual figures, the quarterly figures for the entire series from 2012 onwards have also been recalculated. The figures may therefore differ slightly from the previously published figures because more information is now available and quality improvements have been implemented in the source data.
Frequency: quarterly, period: 2012 Q1 - 2024 Q4

For applicants with the attribute 'unknown' (branches, company size and country of ultimate controlling institutional unit), no link is available with the General Business Register. In the past, links for these applicants were forwarded from other statistical years where a link was possible, but for the sake of consistency with the General Business Register, a link is only assigned if the company is actually listed in the General Business Register in the same year as the patent application. The change results in approximately 10 to 120 patent applicants per statistical year no longer being linked to the register and receiving the attribute ‘unknown’. These are mostly companies that are newly created and not yet included in the register or companies that have just ceased to exist in the same year that the patent application was registered. In recent years, there have also been changes to the PATSTAT source data for statistical years that have since been given a 'final' status. Patents may still have been added to the PATSTAT database with long delays, or they may have been removed from the database. This revision makes all statistical years consistent with the most recent PATSTAT source data which was made available at the end of 2024. The adjustment affects at most a few dozen patent applications per statistical year (increase or decrease).
Frequency: twiceyearly, period: 2013-2021

An error in the totals of the WIPO technology fields has been fixed. The numbers from the 'Handling' category were incorrectly assigned to the 'Chemistry' technology field instead of 'Mechanical Engineering'. In addition, in the StatLine table, the total for 'Mechanical Engineering' was shown under 'Handling materials; printing' and vice versa, causing the total for 'Mechanical Engineering' to be too low and for 'Handling' to be too high. As a result of this correction, the total for 'Chemistry' is revised downward by several dozen applicants and applications per statistical year, and around 250 patent applicants and 600 patent applications that were erroneously shown under 'Handling materials; printing' per statistical year are now put back under 'Mechanical Engineering'. In recent years, there have also been changes to the PATSTAT source data for statistical years that have since been given a 'final' status. Patents may still have been added to the PATSTAT database with long delays, or they may have been removed from the database. This revision makes all statistical years consistent with the most recent PATSTAT source data which was made available at the end of 2024. The adjustment affects at most a few dozen patent applications per statistical year (increase or decrease).

The number of self-employed for the reporting years 2020 and 2022 has been corrected. The correction concerns a slight upward revision of the number of self-employed persons. The cause was an error in the software that deduces whether someone is self-employed based on the answers in the questionnaire. As a result, for some records the position in the job remained unknown, whereas it should have been self-employed (with employees). This has now been corrected.
