List of top United States patent recipients

List of top United States patent recipients

The USPTO will no longer release an annual list of top 10 organizations receiving the most U.S. patents. The 2006 data will be available in April 2007, in the annual “Patenting by Organizations” report on the agency's web site (http://www.uspto.gov). This report profiles U.S. patents granted to U.S. and international organizations receiving 40 or more patents each year.
