Toyota Continues Role as Lead Automotive Innovator

In his address to investors last month, Toyota Motor Corporation Executive Akio Toyota spoke of transforming Toyota from an automaker into a mobility company. While the recent announcement seems an official change in direction announced recently, Engineers and Scientists of Japan’s largest automaker have been expanding their research and development efforts to include mobility solutions and technology for several years. Their efforts have resulted in many advances. It has also generated many patents for the company.

How many patents does include in many? In 2017 Toyota was awarded 2015 patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. These are most of any automaker.
