7 Million U.S. Patents

UPDATE: The Patent Librarian reports that the U.S. has issued patent 7,000,000 on February 14, 2006 to DuPont.

The Patent Librarian blog tells us that next week the United States may be issuing patent number 7,000,000. Michael White also looked up the topics and years of the patents issued on the first few million landmarks.

What is most impressive is how long it takes to issue this many patents and how fast patents numbers are growing. Take a look.
