# Calendar Year Patent Statistics (January 1 to December 31) General Patent Statistics Reports Available For Viewing

Notes for Users

- PTMT reports display patent statistics and data by calendar year (1 January to 31 December).
- For most users, PTMT reports displaying utility patent statistics will be the ones of interest - utility patents are also known as “patents for inventions.”
- PTMT reports that have a PDF file extension (e.g., “topo_09.pdf”) may be viewed using free Adobe ® Acrobat ® Reader software, version 6.0 or higher. This software also permits document printing. Some reports also may be viewed with earlier versions of the Adobe ® software. In general, where both HTML and PDF versions of a report are available, the PDF version is preferable when the user wants to print the report.
- The most recently updated PTMT reports include data for patents granted through 2009.
