For the third year running, Toyota has topped the list of automotive innovation in the United States. According to "Top 300 Organizations Granted U.S. Patents in 2016," a recently-released report from the Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO), Toyota was awarded 1,540 United States patents in 2016 -- more than any other car manufacturer. Not only that, but Toyota was the only auto maker to earn a place in the top 20 patent awardees -- along with other innovative companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Apple and Google.
Thanks to the recent development of the Entune 3.0 entertainment and connectivity system and the Toyota Safety Sense™ active safety technology, Toyota leads the industry in developing and engineering better cars and technology.
Jeff Makarewicz, group vice president, Toyota Motor North America Research & Development, stated in a press release, “As companies in the automotive industry transform themselves into broader mobility providers, no auto company better demonstrates innovation and technology for the future than Toyota. Toyota’s industry-leading patent numbers illustrate the company’s continuous success as global mobility and innovation front runner.”
