TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT AND FORECAST REPORT MECHANICAL CLASSES 1/1994 – 12/2013 April 2014 U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE ELECTRONIC INFORMATION PRODUCTS DIVISION- PTMT P.O. Box 1450 ALEXANDRIA, VA 22313-1450 tel (571) 272-5600 / FAX (571) 273-0110 A PATENT TECHNOLOGY MONITORING TEAM REPORT April 2013/mech.doc Technology Profile Report - MECHANICAL Classes Explanation of Data This Technology Profile Report profiles the patent activity for U.S. utility patents granted between 1994 and December 2013 in MECHANICAL technology discipline classes within the U.S. Patent Classification System (USPCS). The report is generated by identifying appropriate Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) classes, i.e., those entirely or substantially pertinent to the technology discipline of interest. The patents in these classes are then included in the profile. This procedure results, in most cases, in the inclusion of the majority of patents relevant to the technology discipline and few, if any, patents which are not relevant. However, any patent listing provided should not be considered to be inclusive of all relevant patents, nor exclusive of all irrelevant patents. Data Distribution By Date of Grant and By Date of Application Parts A1 and A2 Part A1 distributes utility patent GRANT data by year of patent grant ("Patents Granted By Date of Patent Grant"). Part A2 distributes patent GRANT data by the year in which the patented application was filed ("Patents Granted By Date of Patent Application"). Parts A1 and A2 each provide patent counts (pages A1-1 and A2-1) and percent distributions (pages A1-2 and A2-2). Patent data, as shown in the "Pre 2000" column, correspond to selected patents in the data base which were granted during the period 1994 to 1999. Part B Part B of this report distributes patent GRANT data for organizations that have received U.S. patents since 1991. Data are presented by the year in which the patent was granted ("Patents By Year of Grant") and the year the patented application was filed ("Patents by Year of Application"). DATA FOR THOSE APPLICATIONS WHICH WERE FILED BUT NEVER ISSUED (ROUGHLY 35% OF TOTAL FILINGS) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT. Since the average time period between filing for a utility patent and the issuing of the patent (i.e., the patent's "pendency") is now about 35 months, the patented application data for applications filed in the most recent years are incomplete.* This is because the patents included in this report are limited to those granted during the specified time period. However, a significant number of the applications filed during the most recent years of this time period were still pending at the end of the period. While many of these applications eventually will be patented, they will not be patented until sometime following the end of the period displayed in this report. Patented application data are of significant value since the date an application was filed more accurately reflects when the technology was developed. Additionally, fluctuations in data based on application date are much more likely to reflect changes in technological activity since, for the most part, such fluctuations would be immune from changes in U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) processing such as occurred in years such as in 1986 and 2005 when the PTO issued fewer patents than would have normally been expected because of administrative reasons. Note that a patent's "pendency" can be quite variable from one patent to another thereby affecting the date of patent grant. Such variation in pendency is determined by many factors, including PTO workload (which varies between technologies), budget and manpower levels, patent printing schedules, etc. "Patents Granted By Date of Patent Application", as shown in the "Pre 2000" column, correspond to utility patent grants in the report that were filed prior to 2000. -------------------Parts of the Report Parts A1 and A2 present tables which show, by number and percent, the patent activity in all technologies. Part A1 presents data by year of patent grant ("Patents Granted By Date of Patent Grant"). Part A2 redistributes grant data by year of patent application ("Patents Granted By Date of Patent Application"). The location of patent origin is determined by the residence of the first named inventor at the time of grant. Patent ownership information reflects ownership at the time of patent grant and does not include subsequent changes in ownership. If more than one assignee was declared at the time of grant, the patent is attributed to the first-named assignee. The U.S. and Foreign Corporation ownership categories count predominantly corporate patents; however, patents assigned to other organizations such as small businesses, nonprofit organizations, universities, etc. are also included in these categories. While U.S. Government patent ownership includes only patents granted to the Federal Government, no similar distinction is made for Foreign Government patents. Note that for a patent, the country of origin may differ from the country of ownership. Therefore, the sum of U.S. origin patents does not equal the sum of U.S. ownership category patents. Part B is a ranked listing of national and international organizations (i.e., corporations, universities, government agencies) that have received 200 or more U.S. utility patents since 1986. Data line 1 for each listed organization distributes counts of patent grants by year of grant. Data line 2 for each organization redistributes those same patent grants by year in which the patented applications were filed. Information regarding patent ownership reflects ownership at the time of patent grant. Although a substantial effort has been made to combine name variations into a single organizational name, many organizations continue to have patents listed under more than one organizational name. --------------------------------------* For example, in a report profiling utility patents granted through December 2013, patent grant data, as distributed by year of application are approximately 96% complete for utility patent applications filed in 2004, 92% complete for applications filed in 2005, 84% complete for applications filed in 2006, 74% complete for applications filed in 2007, 59% complete for applications filed in 2008, 50% complete for applications filed in 2009, 39% complete for applications filed in 2010, and 24% complete for applications filed in 2011; data are essentially complete for applications filed prior to 2004. CHEMICAL, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL CLASSES CHEMICAL 8 149 376 502 526 560 23 156 419 503 527 562 44 159 420 504 528 564 48 162 422 507 530 568 51 196 423 508 532 570 DECEMBER 2013 55 201 424 510 534 585 The following subclasses are also Chemical: ELECTRICAL 174 318 338 361 382 706 726 177 320 340 362 385 707 850 178 322 341 363 386 708 902 191 323 342 365 388 709 200 324 343 367 392 710 218 326 345 368 396 711 65 202 426 512 536 588 71 203 427 514 540 800 75 204 428 516 544 930 95 205 429 518 546 976 96 208 430 520 548 977 106 210 435 521 549 987 117 216 436 522 552 127 252 438 523 554 136 260 442 524 556 148 264 501 525 558 29/2, 25.01-25.03, 623.1-623.5;
