Our Clients Top IEEE Scorecard of Best Patent Portfolios

The IEEE's 2011 Patent Power Scorecard ranks two Fogg & Powers' clients as having among the world’s most valuable patent portfolios.  The survey, based on patent quality rather than sheer numbers of patents, considered 1027 companies to identify those with the most influential and potentially most lucrative portfolios.  Fogg and Powers client Honeywell International Inc., U.S. was rated as having the top portfolio in the field of Aerospace and Defense.  For the field of communications/internet equipment, Fogg and Powers client ADC Telecommunications Inc., U.S. (TE Connectivity Ltd.) was ranked tenth.  We congratulate our clients on this recognition and are proud of the contributions we have made to these portfolios.
