قائمة المخترعين بعدد الاختراعات

توماس الفا اديسون كان من المعروف على نطاق واسع في أمريكا من أكبر المخترعين، حتى بعد وفاته في عام 1931. و سجل ما مجموعه 1,093 براءة اختراع في أمريكا (1,084 براءات الاختراع ذي منفعة و 9 تصاميم براءات اختراع). في عام 2003 تجاوزه المخترع  الياباني شومي يامازاكي. في 26 فبراير 2008, يامازاكي تجاوزه المخترع الأسترالي كيا سلفربروك. يامازاكي يتجاوز سلفربروك في عام 2017.
المخترعين الآتية أسماؤهم من جميع أنحاء العالم  قامو بتسجيل بين ب200 أو أكثر من براءات الاختراع. بينما في كثير من الحالات وهذا هو عدد المنفعة براءات الاختراع الممنوحة من قبل مكتب الولايات المتحدة للبراءات والعلامات التجارية ، قد تشمل المنفعة براءات الاختراع الممنوحة من قبل بلدان أخرى، كما يشير المصدر مراجع مخترع.

يتم تحديث هذا الجدول عادة كل مساء يوم الثلاثاء في شرق الولايات المتحدة اعتبارا من كانون الثاني / ينايراعتبارًا من 8 يناير 2019 (2019-01-08).
الأعمدة هي على النحو التالي:
المخترع: اسم المخترع.
# براءات الاختراع: يحدد عدد براءات الاختراع التي تم إصدارها (أو ما يعادلها) يتم سرد باعتبارها أداة البراءة هي براءة اختراع. ليس كل البراءات هي الاختراعات. غيرها من أنواع براءات الاختراع تشمل: تصميم براءات الاختراع من أجل تصميم تجميلي للأشياء ; مخطط  براءات الاختراع للأصناف النباتية ؛ إصدار براءات الاختراع، حيث يتم إجراء تصحيح بالفعل منح براءات الاختراع. هذه القائمة لا تشمل طلبات البراءات (براءات الاختراع في قوائم الانتظار) لأنه ليس هناك ما يضمن أن طلب البراءة المقدم حاليا كاختراع ستمنح  له البراءة.
البلد: بلد الميلاد أو تربية المخترع المعروفة. إذا كان غير معروف يذكر بلد الإقامة للمخترع  صاحب البراءات.
نشاط: أول عام الذي حصل فيها مخترع على براءة الاختراع، إلا إذا كان النشاط قبل السجلات الرقمية، وفي هذه الحالة سنة الميلاد (ب) و الموت (د) قد يكون بديلا. إذا كان المخترع الأول في العام 1976 أو فيما بعد بسنوات، قد يكون هناك نشاط قبل هذا ؛ تواريخ سابقة غير موجودة في المصدر، ويتطلب مصدر ثانوي.
أهم مجالات الاختراع: هي المجالات الرئيسية التينشط فيها المخترع.
