Ford has reached a new 2016 milestone, just in time for the new year. Its employees have submitted the most patent requests in the company’s 113-year history. And the accomplishment isn’t limited to the United States. The automaker’s achievement includes patents filed globally as well. Worldwide, Ford employees submitted 8,000 new inventions this year for a 40-percent increase over 2015, and a 90-percent leap over 2014.
“At Ford we are fully engaged in the current climate where inventions and out-side-the-box thinking are being produced rapidly,” said Tony Lockwood, Ford manager, virtual driver system, autonomous vehicle development, who was granted a patent for the idea along with fellow Ford employee Joe Stanek. “Ultimately, customers benefit as we open ourselves to new ideas and advance mobility using emerging technologies.”For more information, visit Levittown Ford LLC.
