** The 'In force' category covers patent families that have been granted and are active.
*** As it usually takes 18 months after first filing for a patent to get published, the data for the year 2019 is subject to change.
The owner of a patent includes all patents owned by a company and its subsidiaries (by at least 50%) based on comprehensive research on corporate structures, M&A, Spin-offs, company names changes, patent transactions.
