Melville, NY—Canon USA reported that its parent company, Canon Inc., earned another top-five finish for 2022 IFI Claims patents. This is based on the service’s newly published 2022 Top 50 U.S. Patent Assignees. 

Canon’s 2,694 granted U.S. patents for 2022 ranked fifth overall. Moreover, this extends the company’s streak to 37 consecutive years finishing among the top five for the number of patents granted.

It also sustained a run of finishing in the top 10 every year since 1983, according to Canon. The company also finished first in U.S. patents granted among Japanese companies for the 18th consecutive year. 

“Canon has been in the top 10 of the IFI U.S. Top-50 patent ranking for several decades,” said Mike Baycroft, CEO of IFI Claims Patent Services. “This says a lot about how much it reveres innovation and how committed it is to protecting it.”
