European defense spending has entered a structurally higher phase, driven by geopolitical risk, multi-year procurement cycles, and EU-level initiatives. At the same time, European patent filings remain near record levels, and China-origin filings at the European Patent Office (EPO) have grown sharply over the last decade.
