    Re: Top 50 US Patent Assignees

    Don't know, and the lines now blur between photo, electronics, digital data, and so on type patents.

    One thing's for sure: patents are becoming more and more important in the digital era (not that they weren't before, just even more so).

    A friend who worked at Qualcomm told me they would pay bonuses for employees to develop an idea and register for patents. He now works for Interdigital, which is basically a company that develops ideas and patents, then sells rights to them, never building their own widgets.
