Additional information

Development of patent search strategies for various areas of ‘environmental’ technologies have been developed at OECD and have been used to produce the dataset (see a website dedicated to the ENV-tech indicator). EPO patent counts are based on data received from the EPO (EPO Bibliographic database, publications up to December 2011).
