Reports that identify top patent portfolio owners  

Patent portfolios define industry leadership

High-quality intellectual property (IP) and patent portfolios are key indicators of industry leadership. They reflect a company’s technological superiority and market competitiveness. Because a robust patent portfolio not only safeguards innovations, but also signifies a firm’s commitment to advancing technology within its sector. Companies with strong patent assets often secure top positions in industry rankings, setting benchmarks that competitors strive to meet. 

For example, the “Innovation Momentum: The Global Top 100” report highlights companies that have developed superior patent portfolios. The annual report was first published in 2022. This report utilizes the Patent Asset Index, a scientifically validated method to evaluate the innovative strength of a patent portfolio. Therefore, it offers an objective framework for identifying companies that have excelled in innovation. Thus securing higher industry rankings through the development of high-quality patents.
