Our work addresses this gap by investigating the relationship between trademark registration and entrepreneurial activity using data for 33 European countries. Our empirical results show a positive and significant relationship between the share of the self-employed workforce in a given country that can be considered ‘entrepreneurial’ –which we associate with the share of Kirznerian entrepreneurs– and trademark registration at the country level. These results have important implications for scholars, practitioners and policy makers, which are discussed in this work.}, organization = {Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad: Proyectos de I+D+i ECO2017-86305-C4-2-R y ECO2017-86402-C2-2-R.
