Abstract
The number of patent applications to the European Patent Office (EPO) in the field of micro structural technology/MEMS and neighbouring areas is presented and analysed. Various sectors like pressure sensors, accelerometers, microfluidics, ink-jet printheads and packages are distinguished and trends in the individual domains are put in relation to the overall evolution of the filing figures
