There was one patent granted in Petaluma in the week ending Aug. 22, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The number of approved patents in the U.S. grew steadily from roughly 225,000 in 2009 to more than 285,000 in 2019. The number of patents approved suffered a slight downturn in 2020.
