Haag, Maike / Kohlisch, Enno / Koppel, Oliver, 2022, Innovation und Vielfalt. Migration verhindert Rückgang bei Patentanmeldungen, IW-Kurzbericht, Nr. 84, Köln
Zur Studie
In a country comparison of international patent applications from the higher education sector, Switzerland excels in efficiency. The USA dominate in terms of the number of patent applications and in the ranking of the 1,767 patent-active universities across the globe. Germany performs well across all categories, placing just behind the USA in efficiency.

All indicators of innovative strength in Germany – from research intensity and scientific and technical employment structures to patent successes – point to a strong south-north, west-east and urban-rural divide.
IW
Migration makes an indispensable contribution to Germany's innovative strength: a record 12.2 percent of all patent applications developed in this country are entirely attributable to inventors with foreign roots. Many German companies already show considerable diversity in this respect.
