firstly, they did. secondly, the reason they didn't invent much compared to brits, germans, french, italians, dutch, etc. is the hajnal line. there is a lot of variation within groups. but we're not gonna let the thread go too off track.

>now this is an objective list with the numbers of patents
the problem is that patent applications do not necessarily demonstrate who is inventing actual useful and innovative things. i have a suspicion based on strong historical precedent that if there was a catalog of "modern innovations/inventions", measured by references from experts (i.e. "who do modern experts think made the most contributions to their fields?"), the US and individual western countries would dwarf china and japan.
