  13.     What follows are statistics on US patents awarded to foreign countries
  14. during the time period of 1963 to 1986.  Only countries with more than 1000
  15. patents are listed. Not surprisingly, Japan and West Germany have the 
  16. largest number of foreign patents, with totals comparable to the two U.S.
  17. states receiving the most U.S. patents.
