Revision as of 10:07, 16 March 2011
The ten most prolific inventors in recorded history, ranked by the number of issued U.S. utility patents issued, are:
†This table was last updated on March 10, 2011.
A utility patent is a patent of invention. Other patent types are: design patents for the ornamental design of an object; plant patents for plant varieties; and reissue patents. This list does not include patent applications, as there is no certainty that an application will actually be granted. Patent applications are included in this list only when the patents are granted. Because the U.S. market is so large, most inventions are patented in the U.S. However, as the process of applying for patents in every country is very expensive, most patents are applied for in only a limited number of countries, and many only in the U.S. These factors combine to make U.S. utility patents the best data available to indicate the worldwide number of inventions.
For all of the 20th century, Thomas Edison was the most prolific inventor in history. He was passed by Shunpei Yamazaki on June 17, 2003. Shunpei Yamazaki was subsequently passed by Kia Silverbrook on February 26, 2008. Kia Silverbrook is currently the most prolific inventor in history.
Significance of inventions
This table is a ranking of the most prolific inventors, not necessarily the most significant inventors. The significance of inventions is often not apparent until many decades after the invention has been made. For recent inventors, it is not yet possible to determine their place in history.
The common symbol for inventiveness - the light bulb - is a perfect example. The first incandescent light bulb was invented by British chemist Sir Humphry Davy in 1802. Many subsequent inventors improved Davy's invention prior to the successful commercialization of electric lighting by Thomas Edison in 1880, 78 years later. Electric lighting continued to be developed. Edison's carbon filament light bulb was made obsolete by the tungsten filament light bulb, invented in 1904. It is this that forms the popular conception of a light bulb, though there are other major forms of lighting. The principle of fluorescent lights was known since 1845, and various inventors, including Edison and Nikola Tesla worked on them without commercial success. Various improvements were made by many other inventors, until General Electric introduced "fluorescent lumiline lamps" commercially in 1938. LED lamps also have a long history, with the first light-emitting diode (LED) invented in 1927 by Oleg Losev. LEDs were initially of low brightness, and have been used as indicator lamps and seven-segment displays since 1968. It wasn't until the development of high efficiency blue LEDs by Shuji Nakamura in the 1980s that white LEDs for lighting applications became practical. Although higher cost than incandescent light bulbs, LEDs have higher efficiency and longer life and may finally displace light bulbs in general lighting applications. In each case, more than 50 years passed between the initial invention and commercial success in general lighting applications.
Published lists
Rankings of prolific inventors have been published at various times. However, until the patent records were digitized, these lists were very tedious to prepare, as many thousands of patent records had to be checked manually. Even after digitization, it is still not a simple process. While the USPTO keeps statistics for annual rankings of inventions assigned to companies, it does not keep rankings of individual inventors. Also, patents predating 1976 have not yet been digitized in the USPTO records. This means that patents before 1976 will not be included in a USPTO search by inventor name, and the number of patents granted before 1976 must be added to current searches.
Popular Science (1936)
In January 1936, Popular Science Magazine published a list of the "most prolific living inventors to be found in America today":
Rank | Inventor | U.S. Patents |
---|---|---|
1 | John F. O'Connor | 949 |
2 | Elihu Thomson | 696 |
3 | Carleton Ellis | 648 |
4 | Henry A. Wise Wood | 434 |
5 | John Hays Hammond Jr. | 360 |
6 | Clyde C. Farmer | 344 |
7 | Ethan I. Dodds | 321 |
8 | Edward Weston | 309 |
Thomas Edison was not included in the list, as he died in 1931, five years earlier.
Time Magazine (2000)
On December 4, 2000, Time Magazine published a list of the "top five inventors".
Rank | Inventor | U.S. Patents | Notable inventions |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Thomas Edison | 1093 | Light bulb, phonograph, motion picture, mimeograph, pneumatic stencil pen |
2 | Melvin De Groote | 925 | Method to separate crude oil from water, process that adheres chocolate to vanilla ice cream |
3 | Francis H. Richards | 894 | Golf-ball-molding machine, air-cushion door spring, high-speed envelope machine |
4 | Elihu Thomson | 696 | Electrically operated pipe organ, cream separator, electric welding |
5 | Jerome Lemelson | 554 | Bar-code reader, computer-controlled tourniquet, audio cassette-drive mechanism, magnetic-recording system |
This list only included U.S. inventors, so omitted Canadian inventor and industrialist George Albert Lyon, with 993 U.S. patents at the time. Also omitted were Japanese inventor Shunpei Yamazaki, who held 745 U.S. patents at the time of publication, John F. O'Connor with 949 patents, and Carleton Ellis, with 753.
USA Today (2005)
On December 13, 2005 USA Today published a list of "the top 10 living U.S. patent holders":
Rank | Inventor | U.S. Patents |
---|---|---|
1 | Shunpei Yamazaki | 1432 |
2 | Donald Weder | 1322 |
3 | Kia Silverbrook | 810 |
4 | George Spector | 723 |
5 | Gurtej Sandhu | 576 |
6 | Warren Farnworth | 547 |
7 | Salman Akram | 527 |
8 | Mark Gardner | 512 |
9 | Heinz Focke | 508 |
10 | Joseph Straeter | 477 |
This research was performed by ipIQ of Chicago (now "The Patent Board") and 1790 Analytics of New Jersey. This list only considered living inventors, and thus did not include such prolific inventors as Thomas Edison. This list also included design patents, which are not patents for inventions.
Condé Nast Portfolio (2007)
On October 15, 2007 Condé Nast Portfolio Magazine published a list of "the world's most prolific inventors alive":
Rank | Inventor | U.S. Patents |
---|---|---|
1 | Shunpei Yamazaki | 1811 |
2 | Kia Silverbrook | 1646 |
3 | Donald Weder | 1350 |
4 | George Spector | 722 |
5 | Gurtej Sandhu | 674 |
6 | Leonard Forbes | 671 |
7 | Warren Farnworth | 635 |
8 | Salman Akram | 612 |
9 | Mark Gardner | 515 |
10 | Joseph Straeter | 485 |
This research was performed by The Patent Board, a Chicago patent research and advisory firm. As with the USA Today list, the Portfolio list only considered living inventors, and thus did not include such prolific inventors as Thomas Edison. This list also included design patents, which are not patents for inventions.
Boliven U.S. Patent ranking (2010)
On January 22, 2010, a search on Boliven for the top 25 U.S. Utility patent holders gave the following results:
Rank | Inventor | U.S. Patents |
---|---|---|
1 | Kia Silverbrook | 2845 |
2 | Shunpei Yamazaki | 2225 |
3 | George Albert Lyon | 987 |
4 | Donald Weder | 945 |
5 | Melvin De Groote | 935 |
6 | Leonard Forbes | 880 |
7 | George Spector | 695 |
8 | Warren Farnworth | 685 |
9 | Paul Lapstun | 671 |
10 | Salman Akram | 652 |
11 | Gurtej Sandhu | 617 |
12 | William I. Wood | 606 |
13 | Audrey Goddard | 584 |
14 | Jun Koyama | 578 |
15 | Austin L. Gurney | 575 |
16 | Takashi Suzuki | 555 |
17 | Paul Godowski | 552 |
18 | Hiroshi Watanabe | 547 |
19 | Henry Dreyfus | 524 |
20 | Hiroshi Tanaka | 522 |
21 | Clyde Farmer | 513 |
22 | John F. O'Connor | 510 |
23 | Mark I. Gardner | 503 |
23 | Louis H. Morin | 503 |
25 | Heinz Focke | 491 |
These results did not include Thomas Edison, Francis H. Richards, Elihu Thomson, or Carleton Ellis as these inventors are not searchable by name at the USPTO, as they predate electronic records.
International patents
On January 22, 2010, a search on Boliven for the top 25 Utility patent holders from the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Korea gave the following results:
Rank | Inventor | Utility Patents |
---|---|---|
1 | Kia Silverbrook | 2995 |
2 | Shunpei Yamazaki | 2297 |
3 | George Albert Lyon | 987 |
4 | Donald Weder | 962 |
5 | Melvin De Groote | 935 |
6 | Heinz Focke | 925 |
7 | Leonard Forbes | 885 |
8 | Paul Lapstun | 735 |
9 | George Spector | 695 |
10 | Warren Farnworth | 692 |
11 | William I. Wood | 676 |
12 | Takashi Suzuki | 673 |
13 | Salman Akram | 656 |
14 | Hiroshi Watanabe | 655 |
15 | Audrey Goddard | 650 |
16 | Austin L. Gurney | 633 |
17 | Gurtej Sandhu | 625 |
18 | Hiroshi Tanaka | 615 |
19 | Josef Theurer | 607 |
20 | Eberhard Ammermann | 604 |
21 | Hiroshi Inoue | 600 |
22 | Paul J. Godowski | 588 |
23 | Hiroshi Sato | 586 |
23 | Jun Koyama | 586 |
25 | Hiroshi Suzuki | 580 |
These results omitted Thomas Edison, Francis H. Richards, Elihu Thomson, and Carleton Ellis.
Often entities list the worldwide total number of patents that they hold. This is not the same as the number of inventions, as a patent in one country may be for the same invention as a patent in another country. The set of patents covering a single invention in different countries is a Patent family.
Merged list
Merging these five lists and other USPTO searches gives:

Differences in patent numbers between the various lists are due to several reasons:
- The lists were created on different dates. As many of the inventors in the lists are still active, the number of patents they hold are increasing.
- While the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is the primary source for U.S. patent information, only patents issued since 1976 can be electronically searched by the inventor's name at the USPTO website. For some of the listed inventors, such as Thomas Edison, all of their patents predate 1976, so other sources must be used. For some inventors, such as Shunpei Yamazaki, some patents predate 1976. The earlier patents must be added to the results of a USPTO search to obtain the complete number.
- The Time, USA Today and Portfolio lists show the total number of U.S. patents, including patents for designs (Design patents) as well as patents for inventions (Utility patents).
- The International list includes granted patents from Europe, Korea, and Japan
- Small discrepancies can also occur in patent numbers given by database searches due to differences in the way that variations in the spelling of an inventor's name are dealt with.
Rankings below number 36 are listed as "not applicable". They are included in this list as a result of merging the previous lists. There are many other inventors with more patents than those marked 'NA', who would appear below number 36 in a complete ranked list. These inventors are not included as they have not appeared in published rankings of prolific inventors.
