Virginia Tech ranks 4th among university Patent Powerhouses for 2024, according to a recent IEEE Spectrum article.

This prestigious ranking reflects the number and influence of U.S. patents generated by VT researchers.

At CPES, we're proud to help drive this innovation leadership - in just the last three years, our researchers have secured 23 patents advancing the frontiers of power electronics.

This success is possible thanks to the strong partnership with our Industry Consortium Member companies and the visionary CPES IP Sharing Program, established by CPES Founder Fred Lee together with Virginia Tech and Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties leadership.

We're grateful for the continued collaboration of our members and the unwavering support from VT in turning research into real-world impact!
