KYOCERA Named Among Top 100 Global Innovators by Clarivate Analytics

Company recognized for patent success rate and global reach for fourth consecutive year

Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto) was recognized today as one of the Top 100 Global Innovators by Clarivate Analytics, a worldwide information solutions provider. Kyocera’s 2017 patent success rate and global reach were identified as outstanding, marking the fourth consecutive year for Kyocera to receive this recognition. The award was presented at Kyocera headquarters in Kyoto, Japan.

The Top 100 Global Innovators awards have been presented annually since 2011 to recognize leading enterprises and research institutions for their innovative efforts. Honorees are selected by Clarivate Analytics after an analysis of intellectual property (IP) and patents using Clarivate’s original methodology.

Candidates are evaluated by patent and citation data across four main criteria: “Volume,” “Success,” “Globalization,” and “Influence.” Among these, Kyocera’s “Success” and “Globalization” during 2017 led to its recognition among the top innovators.
