          According to the Maryland Department of Business & Economic Development’s web site, Maryland ranks second nationally in research and development (R&D) spending by the federal government, with $12.2 billion in annual funding commitments. That spending is reflected in the number of patents that the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office issued to inventors at federal government departments and agencies in Maryland: 

  • Navy (ranked 2d among institutions and entities in 2005, with 367 patents)
  • Dept. Health & Human Services (ranked 3d, at 331 patents)
  • Army (5th, at 248 patents)
  • National Security Agency (15th, at 50 patents)
  • Nat’l Aeronautics and Space Administration (19th, at 41 patents)
