Apple's Design Head Jony Ive has almost twice the number of patents to his name as Thomas Edison. Many of those may be Design patents, but then so were many of Edison's patents. — PING!

Apple's Design Head Jony Ive has almost twice the number of patents to his name as Thomas Edison. Many of those may be Design patents, but then so were many of Edison's patents.

Many? According to this Wikipedia article listing all of Edison's 1093 patents (2332 worldwide), he was awarded just 9 design patents. Nine out of 1093 is about 0.8%. I would call that "a few" rather than "many".

Why don't you tell us how many of Ive's patents are utility, and how many are design?

Of course, in both cases, much of the work behind those patents is that of others, with the "top dog" taking all the credit for them.
