STUDIES
The European Observatory on IPR Infringements together with the European Patent Office published a study on IP and Innovation in European Sectors.
IPR-intensive industries generated 30.6% of all jobs in the EU during the 2021–2023 period, compared to 30.1% in 2017–2019. On average over this period, they employed more than 65 million people in the EU. Over the same period, IPR-intensive industries generated 47.9% of total economic activity (GDP) in the EU, worth €7.7 trillion.
NEW EY study estimates that cultural and creative industries (CCIs) - including the film/TV sector represented 4.4% of EU GDP and employed more than 7.6 million people in 2019 and are key to European recovery post-pandemic. The new study complements the EY study focusing on the film/TV sector released in September 2020.
