NAICS = 2007 North American Industry Classification System.
a
The upper bound is based on the U.S. Small Business Administration's definition of a small business; the Business R&D and Innovation Survey does not include companies with fewer than five domestic
employees.
NOTES: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. The industry classification is based on the dominant business code for domestic R&D performance, where available. For companies that did not report
business codes, the classification used for sampling was assigned. Statistics are representative of companies located in the United States that performed or funded R&D.
