Wrapping up
The data is based on the weekly patent counts issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and resources like the Circana, Retail Tracking Service, U.S. unit sales, 12 months ending December 2021, 2022, and 2023. We couldn’t find those resources online, as it seems they have not been published on the web yet. As for the patent, we’re pretty sure Canon is indeed the no.1 as the patent tempo is crazy fast. Nevertheless, Canon should release some infographics-based resources plus links, regarding the announcement to make it more unambiguous.
