Statistics and List: Thomson Reuters Analysis of 2009 U.S. Patent Activity Show U.S. Increases Precense Among Top 25 Patentees

From the Report Summary:

The IP Solutions business of Thomson Reuters released the results of its 2009 Top Patentees analysis today, ranking the top 25 companies receiving patents in the U.S. over the past year. The study found that IBM was the leader in U.S. patent activity, reaching an all-time one-year high by publishing 4,843 patents in 2009.

The 2009 Top Patentees analysis shows an increase in patent activity by U.S. firms. IBM is joined by an increasingly larger number of U.S.-based companies in the list of top 25 patent assignees. U.S. firms now make up 36 percent of the top 25, up 4 percent from last year. Asian firms, which represent 56 percent of the top 25 patentees, are down 4 percent from 2008.

The summary also includes a list of the top 25 firms receiving the most patents in the U.S. in 2009.
