According to a recent report, Samsung was granted more mobile patents in 2012 than any other company, and Samsung apparently were granted more mobile patents in 2012 than any other company since 1996.
In 1996 Nokia were granted to most mobile patents in one year, and now Samsung has beaten Nokia’s previous record for patents awarded in a year, Apple didn’t even appear on the top ten companies that were granted mobile patents last year.
Obviously Samsung is looking to protect themselves by registering as many patents for mobile devices as they can, considering the amount of new devices the released last year it is not surprising that they registered more mobile patents than anyone else.
