How to calculate the average100000 patent applications?

The industry generally uses the number of invention patents per 10,000 people to represent the level of intellectual property development (especially patent development) of a country or region. Its algorithm is: the total number of invention patents in this area ÷ the total population × 1000 = the number of invention patents per 10,000 people. I think according to your meaning, the average number of patent applications per10000 people should be: the total number of patent applications in this area ÷ the total population × 10000. However, please note that in fact, the application is generally expressed in time, so it is generally said that the application amount will be added to the application amount in a certain year.
