IBM wins most U.S. patents in 2008

Reuters – International Business Machines Corp said on Wednesday it became the first company ever to win more than 4,000 U.S. patents in a single year, citing a new report from research firm IFI Patent Intelligence.

Not entirely surprising… there is huge drive in the labs to submit patents
