Number of patent applications fell slightly in 2024
Austrians registered 2177 patents in Austria in 2024. This is slightly less than in the previous year, when a slight increase to 2242 was recorded, the Austrian Patent Office announced in a press release on Friday.
There was no change in the most inventive federal states: Of the 2177 patents filed, Upper Austria accounted for 503, putting it ahead of Styria (451) and Vienna (395) in the country rankings. The federal capital recorded a significant increase of 13.5 percent. In terms of population, i.e. per capita, Vorarlberg is in first place.

Among the universities, the Vienna University of Technology (18 applications) was ahead of the Medical University of Vienna (9) and the University of Linz (5).
