NAICS = 2007 North American Industry Classification System. a b Statistics are representative of companies located in the United States that performed or funded R&D. Upper bound based on U.S. Small Business Administration's definition of a small business; Business R&D and Innovation Survey does not include companies with fewer than five domestic employees. NOTES: 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.
