* Values earlier than 2011 are not taken into consideration.

a. OECD value = Where the OECD aggregate is not provided in the source database, a simple OECD average of the latest available data is calculated where data exist for a significant number of countries.

b. Higher-value inventions that have sought patent protection in at least two jurisdictions. Average of latest three years.

c. Excluding emissions/removals from land use, land-use change and forestry.
