Continuing our celebration of the announcement of the Top 100 Worldwide Universities Granted U.S. Utility Patents List, we share a quote from Coke Morgan Stewart, Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Acting Director of the USPTO, who stated “Intellectual property is the lifeblood of innovation and this new report illustrates the tremendous value universities place on their patent portfolios.” Published annually since 2013, this ranking highlights the critical role that patents play in translating university research and innovation, as well as the important role academic institutions play in the innovation ecosystem at large. Behind every major breakthrough, policy shift, and industry transformation, you’ll find a university-trained mind. Academic institutions shape the experts, innovators, and decision-makers who drive progress across every sector. Higher education doesn’t just prepare leaders; it creates them.
