Since 2012, Clarivate Plc annually gives the “Clarivate Top 100 Global Innovator” award to organizations selected as the top 100 revolutionary companies and institutions leading the world, based on the company’s own patent database to analyze various entities’ intellectual properties (IP) in the four evaluation areas of “influence,” “success rate,” “geographical investment,” and “scarcity.”
This year, 33 Japanese companies have received this award.
By building and managing a portfolio appropriate for its product life cycles’ individual stages, and by utilizing the portfolio to facilitate business growth, Nidec secures and enhances its internationally competitive IP portfolio to increase its IPs’ values. In particular, to realize a sustainable society, the Company develops products that help solve SDGs-related and other common social issues. At the same time, Nidec applies for patents and obtains rights to protect such products and secure competitive advantage, to conduct business globally and transform its IP portfolio to fit the market’s needs. We believe that it is based on our active engagement in these activities that the Company was positively evaluated by Clarivate Plc.
