The USPTO will no longer release an annual list of top 10 organizations receiving the most US patents. The 2006 data will be available in April 2007, in the annual “Patenting by Organizations” report on the agency's web site [7]. This report profiles US patents granted to US and international organizations receiving 40 or more patents each year.[1]

The following is a list of the top ten recipients of patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the year indicated:
