Im a car guy and that's a interesting question but Ill give it a try anyway. I really don't think anyone has a patent on AWD its self because just about every manufacturer makes it. Now each manufacturer has ther own version of it and out of each would have ther own patent. Now who do we have to thank for AWD I believe that would be Subaru (that's my best guess any way) hope this helped Don

I don't know. But the way to find out is www.USPTO.gov. The US Patent and Trademark Office. They allow searches by many criteria. It will take just a little work, but once you know how to search on USPTO, your power will increase.

There are literally hundreds of patents for carburetors all over the world, and you would need to look in the patent files of the country of interest, and in the specific category and subcategory related to the particular invention that applied to the carburetor.
