Micron Marks 50,000 Patents Milestone
11 Mai 2022 - 3:00PM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced it has
surpassed 50,000 lifetime patents, reinforcing the company’s
leadership in innovation. Patents play a key role in Micron’s
technology leadership strategy, from creating the world’s smallest
256K DRAM chip in 1984, to delivering the first 1-alpha DRAM
shipment in 2021—with thousands of inventions in between. More than
4,000 team members across 16 countries have contributed to this
notable accomplishment over the course of Micron’s 43-year history.
“Very few companies in any industry have reached this
achievement. I want to acknowledge the contributions of all Micron
team members, past and present, as this milestone would not have
been possible without their innovative ideas that ensure we stay on
the cutting edge of technology,” said Micron President and CEO
Sanjay Mehrotra. “Thanks to their hard work and tenacity, Micron is
the world leader in memory and storage solutions.”
Micron was founded with the belief that innovation and
persistence would drive long term success. This unwavering focus on
innovation led Micron to overcome performance barriers and bring
better products to market faster than the competition, all while
garnering patents on these revolutionary inventions. Micron’s
50,000th patent caps what is widely recognized to be the most
valuable memory and storage patent portfolio in the industry.
“With global demand for memory and storage growing rapidly,
Micron’s customers are counting on us to keep advancing the pace of
innovation,” said Scott DeBoer, Micron’s executive vice president
of technology and products. “That pioneering spirit is still very
much alive and well at Micron, especially as we pursue the next
50,000 patents that will serve as a foundation for future
technological breakthroughs.”
As innovation continues to accelerate, so does Micron’s patent
portfolio. In 2021, nearly 1,500 Micron team members contributed to
almost 2,600 Micron patent grants – the most patents issued to
Micron in a single year throughout the history of the company. This
outstanding performance is due in part to Micron’s increasing focus
on team member and inventor diversity. For example, the annual
number of women who were inventors on Micron’s original patent
applications was four times greater in 2021 than 2017,
furthering the diversity of ideas being represented across Micron’s
industry-leading advancements.
