Over the past few weeks, I have been reporting on the dramatic rise in the number of patents being issued by the USPTO each week. That trend continues. In the past three weeks, the USPTO has granted more utility patents than in any three week period in history -- at a rate more than 40% greater than in 2009.
Kyle Jensen of PriorSMart reports on an interesting phenom: For the first-time, the number of issued patents exceeds the number of published applications.
