The University has backed several top World Universities

Abu Dhabi: The US National Academy of Inventors published a list of the top excellent universities in the world. Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals ranked 4th in this list of 100 universities/institutions. The academy prepared this list based on the innovative and academic discoveries made by them.

University of California (USA) ranks first in the list. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) comes second and the third in the list is Texas University (USA).  Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Saudi Energy Minister and Chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees, said that “this achievement is a pride for all of Saudi Arabia, and reflects the progress we are experiencing in all fields.” He added that the achievement is a result of the hard work and the strategies of the inmates over the past decade. The university released the achievement in the official website and twitter:

Who conducted the Survey?

The Top 100 Worldwide Universities Granted U.S. Utility Patents in 2019 report was released Tuesday by the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) and the Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO). The report uses data obtained from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and highlights the vital role patents play in university research and innovation. NAI and IPO publish such a list every year from 2013. This list ranks the top 100 universities named as first assignee on utility patents granted by the USPTO in the 2019. Fahd University backed some of the famous institutions like Stanford, Caltech, Tsinghua University, John Hopkins and Harvard College in the list.

“The institutions included in this year’s report are leading innovation worldwide through their encouragement of academic discovery and invention,” said Paul R. Sanberg, president of the NAI. “We are proud to collaborate with the IPO for the eighth consecutive year to highlight universities that have made critical contributions to society”, he added. “University patents ignite a culture of growth and innovation which in turn stimulates the economy,” said Jessica Landacre, Executive Director at the IPO. “The Top 100 Worldwide Universities Granted U.S. Utility Patents demonstrates which institutions excel in this arena.”
