The number of patent applications worldwide is rising sharply, almost continuously. In Europe alone, just over 200,000 applications in 2019.

The damage caused by theft and espionage of business and trade secrets and sabotage recorded an even more substantial increase. The economic harm in Germany amounts to the enormous sum of EUR 223 billion (representative study of the digital association Bitkom from August 2022). This amount is more than twice as much as in 2018/2019, when it was EUR 103 billion.
