Abstract: This article concerns patent statistics. The number of published European Patent Applications field between 1985 and 1990 is considered. It appears that, during this period, eight countries have filed 90% of the totality, while all the other nations are individually below the threshold of 1.5%. In this set of eight nations, three groups can be identified: United States of America, Japan and Federal Republic of Germany are above 6000 applications per year, France and United Kingdom between 2500 and 6000 per year, and Italy, The Netherlands and Switzerland are below 2500 applications per year. For these nations, the number of applications filed, arranged according to filing year and applicant's country, is presented by tables and graphics. National trends are considered, and a comparison is presented.
