In 2020, there were 12,000 business methods patents applied for, but only 1,000 were granted. This means that only 8.3% of business methods patents are granted.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few reasons why this might be the case. First, business methods patents are often seen as being more difficult to obtain than other types of patents. This is because they can be more abstract and difficult to define. Second, business methods patents are often challenged in court, which can further reduce the number of patents that are ultimately granted.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges, business methods patents can be a valuable tool for businesses. They can help businesses protect their intellectual property and prevent competitors from copying their products or services. If you are considering applying for a business methods patent, it is important to work with an experienced patent attorney to ensure that your application is successful.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: substantially smaller. This is the correct answer. The number of business methods patents granted is substantially smaller compared to the number of patents applied for.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: slightly smaller. This is not the correct answer. The number of business methods patents granted is not slightly smaller compared to the number of patents applied for. It is substantially smaller.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: close to equal. This is not the correct answer. The number of business methods patents granted is not close to equal compared to the number of patents applied for. It is substantially smaller.<\/li>\n<li>Option D: equal. This is not the correct answer. The number of business methods patents granted is not equal compared to the number of patents applied for.
