Clarivate selects the Top 100 Global Innovators based on their extensive patent data analysis. By evaluating intellectual property trends, Clarivate identifies the most innovative corporations and research institutions worldwide. The evaluation process involves two tracks. The first track assesses organisations based on the volume of inventive activity, including 500 published inventions since 2000 and 100 granted inventions in the past five years. The second track evaluates inventions on four key factors: Influence, Success, Investment, and Technical distinctiveness. OMRON received high ratings, particularly in the categories of Influence and Investment.
OMRON's success in this ranking is attributed to its strategic approach to intellectual property. By aligning its intellectual property strategy with its business and R&D strategies, OMRON effectively utilises its intellectual property assets to drive innovation on a global scale.
