Recognition for Excellence: Awards & Honors
Once again this year, the University of Arizona maintained its high rankings among universities around the nation and the world earning U.S. utility patents according to annual lists released by the National Academy of Inventors.
“The inventive work of our researchers makes significant differences in so many ways throughout the world, and this ranking is a testament to their creativity and impact. The growth we have seen in patents issued to our inventors is truly exciting, and to be among the top universities recognized by the National Academy of Inventors is a great achievement.”
