Of the 7,355 patents IBM was awarded in 2015, more than 2,000 were related to its cloud and cognitive computing arm, Watson. Despite the company’s financial concerns, it seems to show no signs of slowing its investment in cloud computing and big data services.
“During IBM’s 23 years atop the patent list, the company’s inventors have received more than 88,000 U.S. patents,” Ginni Rometty, CEO, president and chairman of IBM said in a statement. “IBM’s investments in R&D continue to shape the future of computing through cognitive computing and the cloud platform that will help our clients drive transformation across multiple industries.”
