Unrelenting pace of Innovation
Came across these amazing numbers today around patents filed by the big spenders in R&D. Amazon has 1600 + patents, Facebook has 1500+, Yahoo has 2300+ and, hold your breath, Google has 19,700 patents with a 3 fold jump in patents grants from 2011 to 2013. Hats off to google; the relentless focus on staying ahead in the game with relentless focus on innovation and protecting the same is amazing.

9 年IBM (103 year old company) and ATT (~150 year old company) add about 4000 and 1000 patents respectively every year .... I am sure they are ahead of Google and other younger companies .....
Rahul most of these patents were acquired with Motorola acquisition and not developed in the last 2-3 years. Motorola was the largest holder of patents before its acquisition by Google.

10 年Absolutely, we are lucky to live an era of such fast paced innovation. I was just looking at a college photo of mine the other day and we were carrying pagers less than 20 years ago and today the mobile phone is smarter than the desktops that I used for most part of my education and at least 1 decade of my working life... hats off to all the relentless innovators to make our lives so much better almost every single day...
