Poland, in 2016, reported the largest increase in applications in the sectors of mechanical components (about 89%) and transport (by 65% – mostly in the automotive industry). In this respect, transport turns out to be the most important technology sector in the country.
However, compared to other countries and the total number of registered patents (more than a million since 2005), Poland is still far behind.
