Today's corporations continue to deliver new patented technologies at an ever-increasing pace, and by far the most-cited publisher in new patents is IEEE, according to recent studies by 1790 Analytics LLC.

The most recent report examines patents filed with the U.S. Patent Office in 2008 by the year's 20 top-patenting organizations. The report revealed that IEEE journals and conference proceedings received more than 117,000 patent citations—more than 3.5 times the number of citations of any other publisher.
