About this data. Patent counts are approximations (±20%) drawn from public USPTO and Google Patents searches as of 2026-Q1. Where available, the pipeline augments counts with live PatentsView API data. Every card links to a verifiable assignee search so you can drill deeper. This tracker prioritizes patent applications (a leading R&D signal) over granted patents, which lag filings by 18–24 months.
