A PATENT TECHNOLOGY MONITORING TEAM REPORT
Patenting By Organizations (Utility Patents) 2014
This report, prepared from the Technology Assessment and Forecast (TAF) database, profiles utility patents (i.e., patents for inventions) granted during calendar year 2014.
Part A1 Part A1 presents patent counts by origin, U.S. and foreign. Individual counts are also presented for each of the top 36 patenting countries. Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named inventor listed on a patent.
Patent ownership-category information reflects ownership at the time of patent grant and does not reflect subsequent changes in ownership. If more than one assignee (the entity, if any, to which the patent rights have been legally assigned) was declared at the time of grant, a patent is attributed to the ownership-category of the first-named assignee. The "U.S. Corporations" and "Foreign Corporations" ownership categories count predominantly corporate patents; however, patents assigned to other organizations such as small businesses, nonprofit organizations, universities, etc. are also included in these categories. While the "U.S. Government" ownership category includes only patents granted to the Federal Government, no such distinction is made for the "Foreign Government" ownership category. The "U.S. Individuals" and "Foreign Individuals" ownership categories include patents for which ownership was assigned to an individual as well as patents for which no assignment of ownership was made at the time of grant.
Part B1 Part B1 presents organizations that received 40 or more patents during the calendar year. Organizations are ranked based on their patent count. Please note that because of the large number of organizations appearing in this report, the minimum number of annual patents received by a listed organization was raised from 30, for the 1997 report, to 40 for the 1998 and subsequent reports.
Patent information included in Part B1 of the report reflects patent ownership at the time of patent grant and does not reflect changes in ownership which may occur after the patent grant. Where more than one assignee exists, patents are attributed to the first-named assignee.
No attempt has been made to combine data based on subsidiary relationships. However, where possible, spelling variations and variations based on name changes (e.g., ESSO to EXXON) have been merged into a single name. While every effort is made to accurately identify all organizational entities and report data by a single organizational name, achievement of a totally clean record is not expected, particularly in view of the many variations which may occur in corporate identifications.
Patenting By The U.S. Government 2014
In calendar year 2014, the U.S. Government received 1024 utility patents.
Under the section labeled "Ownership", Part A1 presents the total count of patents received by the U.S. Government during the calendar year. Each of the separate U.S. Government agencies receiving 40 or more patents during the calendar year is listed in Part B1.
