For the second-straight year, IBM Corp. received more U.S. patents in 1994 than anyone else, the computer company said. IBM was granted 1,298 patents by the U.S. Patent Office, a record for a single company, according to IFI-Plenum Data Corp., an independent research company. IBM's leadership reverses a previous trend toward Japanese companies leading the U.S. patent race. by CNB
