Kyocera Corporation (NYSE:KYO)(TOKYO:6971) announced that it was
recognized as one of the 2014 Top 100 Global Innovators by Thomson
Reuters, a worldwide provider of intelligent information for
business enterprises and professionals. A trophy was presented at
Kyocera headquarters in Kyoto last week.
The “Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global Innovators” awards have been
presented annually since 2011 to recognize organizations at the
center of global innovation by analyzing their developments in
intellectual property and patents based on Thomson Reuters’ data
and original methodology.
In the selection process, Thomson Reuters measured patent
activities based on four principal criteria: overall patent volume,
patent grant success rate, global reach of the portfolio and patent
influence as evidenced by citations. Among these four elements,
Kyocera received especially favorable ratings for its success rate
and global reach.
Kyocera recognizes innovation as a vital company asset and
remains committed to creating intellectual property which protects
and further develops its business.
About the Thomson Reuters 2014 Top 100 Global
Innovators
Research and analysis were performed utilizing Thomson Reuters
Derwent World Patents Index® (DWPISM), Derwent Patents Citation
Index™, Quadrilateral Patent Index™ and Thomson Innovation®, the
premier IP intelligence and collaboration platform. The methodology
to identify the Top 100 Global Innovators included four principal
criteria.
1. VolumeAll organizations with 100 or more
patented new inventions in the past five years are included in the
analysis.
2. Success rateThe analysis measures the ratio of
inventions described in published applications (those patents which
are filed and publicly published by the patent office but not yet
granted) to inventions protected with granted patents in the past
five years.
3. Global ReachThe global reach of the inventions
is analyzed by calculating the number of basic inventions that have
quadrilateral patents in their patent families in China, Europe,
Japan and the United States.
4. InfluenceThe number of citations to the
organization’s patents by other companies is counted over the most
recent five years, excluding self citations.
