EPO patenting activity by NUTS3

Recently I had to create a benchmark for the patenting activity on EPO patents (based on patstat 10/2009) by weighting each patent by inventors' nuts3.

The result was someway amazing 'cause it seems that the TOP25 (I'm publishing below here) has many EU areas in a higher position than the first US area. The first EU area is from Holland, not from Germany as we could expect from te total count of patents...
