I checked a number of companies that I know that have IP and patents and they came out empty. Maybe it is only accurate for public companies? Or maybe just partially accurate? This seems to be more of a partial source and not a definitive resource.
Cool! My first search ("bosch") turned up almost a quarter of a million in the main company. Waay more than e.g. Ericsson, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Microsoft and Google which I searched next. Is there a "leaderboard" page? Edit: found the top lists at the bottom, but I don't want to pick a category, and the list format shows list position but not patent count unless you click each entry, which to me was not very accessible.
This tool looks amazing.Especially that you can super easily identify similar companies. This helps me for my current client project! Thanks
FYI: The formatting/rendering of this page is way off for me (Chrome on 16" Mac). The top of the page is missing, and the bottom is cut off and doesn't scroll. Need to look at your UI again.
There's an issue with data concordance (I think that's the term) in that, for example, Snekma is listed as having a few RU patents but that's actually the same company as SNECMA (French aeronautical company) which is listed as having many more patents; but that company is now known as Safran. A proper historical analysis of companies would need to account for mergers/splits/renames of companies themselves - data whic…
Holy crap this is powerful. Is the company simlarity done using a clustering measurement on the corpus of language in the patents? I can't think of a product manager whose job does will not depend on this.
I like it! I wish you could click on individual patents to see the full text of them, even if that was hosted elsewhere…

Indeed, leaderboard per jurisdiction would be super interesting. IBM with 287000 patents would likely be in the top ones.

Microsoft seems to hold something over 100,000 worldwide (their main company and through their licensing company). Is there any logic in limiting the number of patents a company can hold? at what point do you simply have too many? is there such a thing as a monopoly from a purely intellectual property perspective?. Just thinking out loud.

Some are defensive some are offensive. Someone like Qualcomm uses them to get a percentage of every device but also uses them to protect themselves against other companies, as they also sell chipsets. Also patents expire. So they may have one but after the time limit they are not really worth much anymore other than a defense. Would limiting the number they hold really help? Think one chipset they had to pull was ove…
