Note: All except a few of this list of my inventions were made while I was employed by a multinational corporation.
I was told that their policy was to encourage the filing of patents which were used in exchanges with other similar companies. These exchanges were based only on the number of patents with no assessment of the “worth” of the idea.
This might make it look more impressive than it is!
