That is just for the USA, patents are extremely expensive in EU, they got a great feudal system going on there where you cannot get a patent without spending at least 40k EUR, whereas in USA a single inventor can get it as low as 500 USD.
Sure, the USPTO might charge $500, but the patent lawyers that will file the application for you will charge $40k - $200k.
You can actually do it yourself, there are lots of book out there how to navigate the patenting system. You don’t need to hire a lawyer if you spend some personal time but on the EU you don’t have that option at all.
