How to read this
Every row here is an application — a request the USPTO has not yet decided. In plain English: these filings show where Microsoft Corporation’s R&D effort is pointed right now, often 18–24 months before any product ships — but an application can be amended, abandoned, or rejected, and most confer no enforceable rights until granted. A “granted parent” tag means the filing continues a patent family that already has a grant — the new claims themselves are still pending. Filings are matched by applicant name, so work filed under subsidiary or research-entity names may not appear. Source: USPTO Open Data Portal (public).
How many patent applications does Microsoft Corporation have on file?
Oxford Ledge tracks 50 U.S. patent applications for Microsoft Corporation, of which 9 continue an already-granted patent family. Every row is an application (a pending request to the USPTO), not a granted patent.
What is the difference between a patent application and a granted patent?
A patent application is a pending request filed with the USPTO; a granted patent is one the USPTO has examined and issued. These pages track applications, which signal a company's R&D direction before any patent is granted.
Where does this patent data come from?
The USPTO Open Data Portal (public), matched to the company's applicant registrations.
