How Many Patents Does Volkswagen Have?

[GenesisFitz]

SAIC Volkswagen has 1,630 patents. Patent: A patent is generally a document issued by a government agency or a regional organization representing several countries based on an application. This document records the content of an invention or creation and establishes a legal status for a certain period, meaning that others can only implement the patented invention or creation with the permission of the patent holder under normal circumstances. Valid Patent: A patent that remains in effect after being granted. To keep a patent valid, it must still be within the statutory protection period, and the patent holder must pay the annual fees as required. Expired Patent: After a patent application is granted, if it exceeds the statutory protection period or the patent holder fails to pay the annual fees on time, resulting in the loss of patent rights, or if any individual or entity requests the patent to be declared invalid and the Patent Reexamination Board confirms and declares it invalid, the patent is then referred to as an expired patent.
