The IPO has published its list (in PDF format) of the top 300 U.S. patent owners for 2003. The top ten are:
1. IBM (3415 patents)
2. Hitachi
3. Vanon
4. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.
5. Hewlett-Packard
6. Micron Technology (way to go, Idaho!!)
7. Intel
8. General Electric
9. Fujitsu
10. Siemens
Additionally, it looks like there may be more rocket scientists in the Navy (358 patents) than at NASA (80 patents).
