The 45-year-old Yang Tai-ho has been inventing for 20-odd years, and he's not exactly certain about how many patents he holds but estimates that he's filed over 200 here in the R.O.C. and in the United States. The European Patent Commission describes him as "unprecedented" and says that over 60 of his patents "are for things that make a contribution to humanity."
現在四十五歲的楊泰和從事研究發明廿餘年，這些年來他已經不確定自己確切的專利件數了，只約略估計在國內及美國專利件數都在兩百件以上；被歐洲專利聯盟（EPC）認為「前所未有」，而且「對人類極有貢獻」的發明專利，也在六十件以上。
