Based on data from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and related patent analytics, approximately
9 to 10 million U.S. patents have been granted over the past 60 years (roughly 1965–2024).
Patent grants have accelerated significantly in the 21st century, moving from roughly 60,000–70,000 per year in the mid-1960s to over 300,000 annually in recent years.
Key Data Points on Patent Growth (1965–2024):
Early Period (Mid-1960s): In 1965, the USPTO granted approximately 62,857 utility patents.
Growth Phase: The volume of issued patents surpassed 100,000 in the mid-1990s, 200,000 in 2010, and 300,000 by 2015.
Recent Years: In 2024, the USPTO granted 324,042 utility patents, a 4% increase from 2023.
Total Accumulation: Analysis of USPTO reports indicates that the vast majority of these grants occurred in the latter half of this 60-year period due to rapid growth in technology sectors.
It is important to note that these figures primarily refer to utility patents (patents for inventions), which make up the vast majority of all patent documents granted by the USPTO.
