A Patent Technology Monitoring Team Report


Description of the Report

This report counts only documents of the following type(s):
utility patents (i.e., "patents for invention")
granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office during the period 01/01/2008 - 12/31/2008. These profiled documents hereafter will be referred to as "patents".


PATENTS INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT

This Patent Technology Monitoring Team (PTMT) Report profiles patent activity for U.S. patents granted between 01/01/2008 and 12/31/2008. The source of the data used for this report is the TAF database maintained by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.


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 (Table A1-1b) 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. Corporation" and "Foreign Corporation" 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. Individual" and "Foreign Individual" 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 B (IF INCLUDED)

Part B 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 B 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.


Report Printing and the Use of Spreadsheet Software

This report can be printed from an Internet browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 7, works particularly well for printing this report using its "Shrink to Fit" option.

Additionally, a user may import this report file into spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel to facilitate printing. Such spreadsheet software also may facilitate sorting and further manipulation of the data.



Patenting By The U.S. Government in 2008

In calendar year 2008, the U.S. Government received 676 utility patents. Table A1-1b displays a breakout of 2008 patents by ownership category.

Separate U.S. Government agencies receiving 40 or more patents during the year are listed in the table in Part B.
