New Clarivate Analytics Report Reveals Emergence of Market Disrupters is Fragmenting Global Patent Landscape, Diluting Leading Innovators' Invention Market Share - Seite 2

"Congratulations to the Top 100 Global Innovators, an excellent mix of organizations including many with extended legacies of driving innovation as well as those that have more recently pushed themselves to the forefront of today's dynamic marketplace," said Jeff Roy, President, IP Group at Clarivate Analytics. "Together, they have built a culture of creating value based on ingenuity. And they have laid the bedrock for future innovation through the establishment and protection of their intellectual property.

Industry sector and regional snapshot
The Derwent Top 100 Global Innovators 2020 come from three continents and 14 countries/regions. The United States reclaimed the top spot with 39 organizations, followed by Japan with 32. Together, these two countries contributed almost three-quarters of this year's Top 100 Global Innovators.

For industry sector representation, the Hardware & Electronics industries lead with 38 organizations, 3 more than last year, followed by Manufacturing & Medical with 16, and Telecoms and Software with 8 each.

Methodology
Now in its ninth year, Derwent Top 100 Global Innovators utilizes editorially enhanced, authoritative and accurate patent data from Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) and Derwent Patent Citations Index (DPCI) to track innovation based on four indicators:

1. Volume: The organization must have had at least 100 granted inventions (and more than 500 filed in total) in the past five years.
2. Influence: The level of downstream impact by being highly cited externally by other organizations, and measured via the Derwent Patent Citations Index over the last five years, excluding citations from themselves.
3. Success: A high ratio of success in obtaining patent grants.
4. Globalization: The level of investment of a patent applicant in their invention, as tracked via the process of pursuing protection in all four of the key market patent offices of China, Europe, Japan, and the United States.
