I te marama o Oketopa 15, 2015, i whakatuwherahia e te United States Patent and Trademark Office tetahi tari amiorangi i San Jose ki te mahi ki Silicon Valley me te Hauauru o te United States. E toru tekau ma rima ōrau o nga tahua whakapaipai haumi katoa i te US kua haumi ki San Jose me nga kamupene Silicon Valley. I te Paenga-whāwhā 2018, kei te whakamahere a Google i te "wānanga hangarau nui rawa atu i Silicon Valley" i San Jose. I te Hanuere 2014, i kii te Forbes Magazine i kii a Careerbliss.com ko te rohe San Jose-Sunvaleny-Santa Clara te waahi tino koa ki te mahi i te United States. I kii te purongo he nui o nga mahi hangarau e tuku ana i te utu me te tipu mo te tipu, hei taapiri ki nga "kamupene mahi me nga taiao mahi auaha" hei take mo te maakete hangarau.
