2016 US Utility Patent Toteboard

The USPTO issued about 303049 utility patents in 2016.  The goal of this toteboard is to list the firms that helped clients to obtain these US utility patents.  It ranks the firms according to the number of US utility patents obtained in 2016.  Each firm was invited in January 2017 to submit a simple online questionnaire.  The closing date for the questionnaires was February 15, 2017.

Each firm was asked to report only US utility patents for which that firm is listed on the front page of the granted patent.  Sixty-three firms responded.

The resulting table accounts for over 10% of all granted US utility patents in 2016.
