Weighted counts for companies that reported on 2009 Business R&D and Innovation Survey whether they did or did not perform or fund R&D. In comparison, total weighted count for companies that did not report these R&D data on
survey is 467,100 companies.
NOTES: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Industry classification based on dominant business code for domestic R&D performance where available. For companies that did not report business codes, classification used
for sampling was assigned.
