Bicliques
are inclusion-maximal induced complete bipartite subgraphs in graphs. Upper bounds on the number of bicliques in bipartite graphs and general graphs are given. Then those classes of graphs where the number of bicliques is polynomial in the vertex number are characterized, provided the class is closed under induced subgraphs.
