Enligt en av kommentarerna till Forbes originalartikel:
Citat:
It took five minutes searching on the website of the Swedish branch of government, Patent och Registreringsverket, that handles patents to conclude that OECD messed up, again. There are several cities in Sweden, for instance the cities of Uppsala, Lund and Linköping that all have significantly higher numbers of patent-applicants per capita than Malmö. My guess would be that they looked on where the legal representation made the application rather than where the applicant is from. Malmö is very close to Lund so they probably get to handle a lot of applications from there.
It´s the second time in a few months that OECD delivers blatantly false numbers. This could have been a honest mistake if they didn’t know the first thing about sweden, I mean seriously, a fairly large city with a secondrate university “out-innovating” much smaller cities with older, larger universities and hitech industrial profiles. Not bloody likely.
But in light of their study on immigration that must have been intentional, it makes one wonder how it comes that a cesspool of crime and social problems that coincidently also happens to have the highest degree of (low educated)immigrants in the country gets labelled as the most innovative.

Tack till användaren spoiler som uppmärksammade kommentaren i ett inlägg i tråden om Malmö i I&I.
Och oavsett så skulle det, som jag skrev tidigare, vara intressant att veta under vilken tidsram studien gäller. Om det visar sig att större delen av alla patent trillat in under femtio- och sextiotalet så känns multikultiaspekten rätt tandlös.
