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: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Ratios were calculated using unrounded data. 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. Statistics are representative of companies located in the United States that performed or funded R&D.
