By the world’s most widely accepted innovation index, patents awarded by the US patent, AMD is emerging as a technology powerhouse, said Hector Ruiz, AMD president and chief operating officer.
AMD received 1055 US patents last year, says Ruiz. AMD innovations in both product design and process technology contribute directly to our ability to deliver leading-edge solutions to customers. We think there’s a strong connection between AMD innovations, our continued success, and the number of awards won by our microprocessors and flash memory devices in recent years.
Our rise on the patents list shows our growing status as a technology leader, said Ruiz. There are many great companies who rank as top patent recipients. However, most of these corporations have revenues that far surpass those of AMD. The truth is that, in terms of patents awarded, we’re standing shoulder to shoulder with the world’s leading companies.
