IBM or The Big Blue is ought to praised, after they just announced that it is the first company ever to earn more than 4,000 U.S. patents in a single year. WOW! That’s more than Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, Apple, EMC, Accenture, and Google combined.

Patents are not much taken seriously by the consumer side but definitely mean a lot on the manufacturing side, and 16th year in a row, IBM must be hiring some smart brains.

Here’s a sampling of patents that IBM included in its announcement:

1. Wireless system to detect presence of child in a baby seat.

2. Ultralow dialetric constant layer with controlled biaxial stress.

3. Method of using RFID systems to help blind and visually impaired individuals.

4. Methods and structures for promoting stable synthesis of carbon nanotubes.

5. CMOS imager with copper wiring and method of eliminating high reflectivity interfaces.
