Technology Companies Which Tops the Innovation List This Year Till Date Including IBM and Samsung

We all agree that technology is changing as the time goes by. If a new technology has been innovated by someone or some company normally they will file it for a patent. From the list, we can know whether that someone or that company is having the most technology that has been patented of and we can say that they are being innovative. Starting from January to May this year, it seems like IBM tops the list by 3059 patents awarded while Samsung follows closely by 3052 patents awarded.

Apple on the other hand, listed in 11^th position of the list with 780 patents awarded. It seems like the company is going through a tough year this year as for the past years, Apple has been in the top 10 for the number of patents that the company has filed. Canon is in the third place with 1782 patents awarded while LG takes fourth position with 1484 patents. Google occupied the fifth place with 1083 patents awarded.

It seems like the changes in patent laws are having an effect on the number of patents granted. Unfortunately, it reduces the number of patents awarded. However, if we take a look at the medium to long term period, this may eventually reduce the number of lawsuits between technology companies.

Apple & Google Workout patents dispute!`

Patents issue all set to be resolved!

Apple and Google’s Motorola Mobility had patents litigation issues which the companies have seemed to resolve mutually. A joint announcement was made on Late Friday US time regarding this. However this doesn’t allow either company to use licenses of the other company. However the most fascinating part of this resolution is that both the companies would be working in revising few patents. Well almost everyone who reads news regularly knows that Google took over Motorola Mobility in $12.5 Billion in 2011. However things didn’t go all that well and Google had sold off the handset section of the company to Lenovo in the first quarter of this year. Most of the patents were reserved by Google though.

Coming back to the current patent issue, the latest deal would solve most cases that were pending between Apple and Google. But this won’t have any impact on the Apple – Samsung War. The judgments that were passed in favor of Apple against Samsung have not been implemented yet and one of them is still under appeal.

Apple and Motorola Mobility accused each other of infringing patents back in 2010 which were combined into a single case and were ruled off by Judge Richard Posner. An appeals court ruled last month that Apple can seek Sales ban against Motorola Mobility and the case now seems closed after this mutual consent resolution. We will keep updating you on this hot issue and keep watching this space for updates!
