Apple dominated the Consumer Electronics category of the ‘patent powerhouses’ of 2024

Apple dominated the rankings of the “patent powerhouses”of 2024 in the Consumer Electronics category, reports IEEE Spectrum. 

The rankings are based on Pipeline Power, a metric calculated by 1790 Analytics that combines several elements of an organization’s patent portfolio into one number. In addition to the number of patents granted in a given year, this metric takes into account four variables representing the quality and impact of those patents. 

In the Consumer Electronics category, Apple leads the pack by a large margin, with about 40% of the category’s patent power. Samsung has patents filed both under its primary company, Samsung Electronics, and a subsidiary that focuses on display technology. These two companies take the second and third place in the category. But even grouped together,” their combined patent power is well behind Apple’s,” notes IEEE Spectrum.
