I've always thought it was an admirable quality for a company to have a lot of patents. I think it shows a dedication to research and development along with an implicit, corporate-wide belief in providing value to customers and shareholders for the long-term. While there have been recent stories of patent-hoarding by companies that don't actually produce anything, here's a list of top patent-holding companies in the US that should be recognized and praised for their work.

Rank In US   Company   Number of Patents   Rank in World  
1 IBM 3277 1
2 Hewlett-Packard 1780 4
3 Micron Technology 1761 5
4 Intel 1604 7
5 General Electric 978 14
6 Texas Instruments 915 16
7 Advanced Micro Devices 803 20
8 Eastman Kodak 714 25
