Through the first half of 2016, IBM has, yet again, been the leader in technology patents, averaging roughly 23.6 patents awarded each day.
Google—it’s still awarded patents under that name, instead of its parent company, Alphabet—is also on a tear. As we suspected last year, the company received well over 3,000 patents in 2015, more than 11 times the number it received just five years earlier.
Still some people claim that there is nothing wrong with the current patent system.
