2 Universities Outside U.S. Are Among Top 300 Institutions Granted U.S. Patents
June 6, 2012, 1:55 pm
Eleven universities made the annual list of the Top 300 Organizations Granted U.S. Patents for 2011, three fewer than for 2010 but with one newcomer to the ranking: National Taiwan University, which finished 271st with 91 patents. The only other non-American university on the list, compiled by the Intellectual Property Owners Association, was Tsinghua University, of Beijing, with 104 patents, the same number as the previous year. As in 2010, the 10-campus University of California system was the academic institution receiving the most patents (323), followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (160), Stanford University (153), and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (144), the patenting arm for the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The California system, MIT, and Stanford each had fewer patents in 2011 than in 2010. IBM continues to be the leader in patents awarded. Because the scope and reach of every patent is different, and many organization choose not to seek patents on certain things, the list is just one indicator of innovation. The association, which has issued lists of top patent winners for 28 years, says it produces the tally for informational reasons.
