Hello socionomics-ga,  

I assembled a list with the number of patents that were applied for
from 1900-2001. Data for 2002 and 2003 is not available yet.

Would this information be of your interest?

Thanks,

Bobbie7

Hello again socionomics-ga,  

I just saw your clarification. Would you accept data for granted
applications from 1900 to 2001?

Thanks
