To find the percentage of patents that were accepted, you divide the number of accepted patents by the total number of patents applied for.
Percentage accepted = (accepted patents / total patents) * 100
Percentage accepted = (325,979 / 629,647) * 100
Percentage accepted ≈ 51.8%
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, approximately 51.8% of the patents were accepted.
