GE researcher narrowly misses 10 millionth U.S. patent

NIskayuna-based biologist now holds 50 patents

NISKAYUNA — A molecular biologist at General Electric’s Global Research Center in Niskayuna fell short (and went long) Tuesday in his quest to be issued the 10 millionth U.S. patent.

John Nelson, of Clifton Park, calculated — correctly, as it turns out  — that the milestone patent would be issued on June 19, and he timed two applications so they would be issued on that day.
