Company recognized for patent success rate and
global reach for 3rd consecutive year
Kyocera Corporation (NYSE:KYO)(TOKYO:6971) announced that it was
recognized as one of the 2016 Top 100 Global Innovators by
Clarivate Analytics, a worldwide information solution provider.
Kyocera’s patent success rate and global reach were identified as
outstanding for 2016, the company’s third consecutive year
receiving the award. A trophy was presented earlier this week at
the company’s headquarters in Kyoto, Japan.
The Top 100 Global Innovators awards have been presented
annually since 2011 to recognize leading enterprises and research
institutions for their innovative efforts. Honorees are selected by
Clarivate Analytics after an analysis of intellectual property and
patents using Clarivate’s original methodology. The awards were
originated by Thomson Reuters.
Candidates are evaluated by patent and citation data across four
main criteria: “Volume,” “Success,” “Influence” and
“Globalization.” Among the above factors, “Success” and
“Globalization” led to Kyocera’s recognition as one of the world’s
top innovators.
Kyocera has a tradition of innovative research and development,
as well as a deep respect for the intellectual property rights of
others. Kyocera recently opened an additional patent office in
Europe (Germany), which follows similar offices established in
Japan, the U.S. and China, to maximize IP development and
protection. Europe is one of the most important markets for the
Kyocera Group, especially for automotive and environmental related
products. As promising intellectual property rights, Kyocera holds
a diverse range of patents including smartphone related
technologies, wireless technologies pertinent to IoT, and applied
technology for piezoelectric devices. In 2016, Kyocera Group
companies obtained a total of 1,132 patents in the U.S., according
to the top 1,000 list that U.S. IFI CLAIMS Patent Service announced
in January, 2017.
