In 2022, IBM spent 6.57 billion U.S. dollars on research, development, and engineering. One of the most prolific research companies in existence, IBM is one of the companies with the most patents granted to them in the United States. Even though the American company is granted thousands of patents each year, IBM is still challenged to continuously develop innovative products and services in a quickly changing technology industry. Much of IBM’s projects in development are related to hybrid cloud solutions, AI, blockchain, and quantum computing.
