EPSON named one of Top 100 Global Innovators

EPSON has again been recognised as one of the 2018-19 Derwent Top 100 Global Innovators, one of only 35 organisations to have been recognised for the eighth year in a row since the inception of the program in 2011. The company exhibits consistently strong performance in successfully obtaining rights to their innovation, seeking wide protection and global markets for potential products and services based on that innovation. Clarivate Analytics cited the fact that EPSON regularly files high volumes of patent applications and had good success this year in converting these to granted patent rights. EPSON holds many Patents globally and is working with patent agencies in 20 countries or more at any given time. Clarivate Analytics analyses intellectual property and patent trends based on proprietary data to determine the world’s most innovative corporations and institutions. The analysis covers four main criteria: patent volume, success, globalisation and influence.
