AI Patent Inventors Analysis Report - 2025

Last Updated: June 25, 2025

This comprehensive report analyzes AI patent inventors across the technology industry, identifying key contributors, rising stars, and innovation leaders in artificial intelligence based on published patent application data.

Executive Summary

This report analyzes AI patent inventors across the technology industry, identifying key contributors, rising stars, and innovation leaders in artificial intelligence based on published patent applications.

Key Statistics:

  • Total AI inventors analyzed: 87,580
  • Companies with AI patent applications: 9,299
  • AI technology categories: 10
  • Analysis period: 2025
  • Last updated: June 25, 2025

Innovation Score Methodology

The Innovation Score is a composite metric (0.0-1.0) that evaluates inventors based on four key factors:

  • Technology Diversity (30%): Number of different AI technology areas an inventor works in (normalized, max score at 5+ areas)
  • Collaboration Breadth (20%): Number of unique collaborators the inventor has worked with (normalized, max score at 10+ collaborators)
  • Company Diversity (20%): Number of different companies the inventor has filed patent applications with (normalized, max score at 3+ companies)
  • Recent Activity (30%): Number of patent applications filed in the last 12 months (normalized, max score at 5+ recent applications)

A score of 1.0 indicates an inventor who is highly active across multiple AI domains, collaborates widely, works with multiple organizations, and maintains strong recent patent application activity. This metric identifies inventors who are not just prolific, but also influential and broadly engaged in the AI research community.
