Methodology
The Top 100 Global Innovators uses a
complete comparative analysis of global invention data to assess
the strength of every patented idea, using measures tied directly
to their innovative power. To move from the individual idea
strength to identify the organizations that create them more
consistently and frequently, Clarivate sets two threshold criteria
that potential candidates must meet and then adds a measure of
their patented innovation output over the past five years. For full
information on the methodology used to identify the 2023 list, see
