Overview
Slovenia's patent applications stood at 222 in 2021, a decline of +10 from 2020. Slovenia ranked 54th globally.
Slovenia's patent application trend has shown a steady increase over the past two and a half decades. The country's all-time peak of 470.00 patent applications in 2011 reflects a significant improvement from its all-time trough of 21.00 in 1991. This transformation is notable, especially when compared to other countries, such as Bulgaria, which has seen a relatively modest increase to 165.00 patent applications in 2021. Slovenia's more substantial growth is a testament to its expanding research and development sector. By 2021, the country had climbed to the 54th spot globally, with 222.00 patent applications filed. Morocco, which ranked higher at 254.00 patent applications in 2021, is another country that has made notable strides. However, to sustain its momentum and continue climbing the ranks, Slovenia will need to maintain its investment in research and development, as well as foster a favorable business environment that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship.
