IP Activity Over Years
The total count here is not equal to 1239, 8 patents (priority date prior to 1990) have already been dropped during 1st filtering process.
Priority date: The initial date of filing of a patent application, normally in the applicant's domestic patent office. This date is used to help determine the novelty of an invention.
Assignees Involved – First cut
- Assignee names available for only 687 out of 1239 patents
