Q: how many patents does ikea have?
A:
About 87.
Well, 87 patents and patent applications in the US are assigned to Ikea, but it is tough to know exactly without spending a lot of time on it. See https://assignment.uspto.gov/patent/index.html#/patent/search/result?id=ikea&type=patAssigneeName&searchPage=1&totalItemsPerPage=100
I say ABOUT 87, because some of these patents have lapsed and are not enforceable, some are not yet enforceable because they have not yet issued, some may have been abandoned, and there may be more patent applications which are in the pipeline but have not yet been issued.
And of course, there are likely patents in Europe on applications that have not been filed in the US.
Good luck!
