For many years in a row, IBM has been the patent leader, and yet again, for the seventeenth year straight, the very same computer company that is known as IBM, had ended up grabbing of the largest number of all patents that had been certified.
This would bring their total number of patents all the way up to thirty thousand in figures. Second in the race had been Samsung, also a very popular and as much a versatile company as IBM. Microsoft, is said to have come in, at third.
