INNOVATION is the cornerstone oeconomic growth and success, or both thecompanies that innovate and the countries thatembrace them.
For the past several years, talk about innovationhas permeated news stories, corporate boardrooms and government orums. No wonder theterm innovation has become a buzz word o the21st century, especially as companies and nationsgrapple with a shiting global economy, nancialcrises o unprecedented proportions and a desire
to create the next era o opportunity or uturegenerations.
These actors, in conjunction with the awarenessat Thomson Reuters o the powerul insights thatcan be gleaned rom studying patent inormation,prompted us to seize the moment and developa program that measures innovation rom anunbiased and scientic perspective.
Patent activity has always been an indicator oinnovation. However, innovation comprises much
more than mere patent ling volume. As such, wedeveloped a range o metrics based on variousacets o innovation that relate to patenting andscience. The Thomson Reuters 2011 Top 100Global InnovatorsSM are companies that invent ona signicant scale; are working on developmentswhich are acknowledged as innovative by patentoces across the world, and by their peers; and,whose inventions are so important that they seekglobal protection or them.
This award acknowledges innovation in its purestorm. Being recognized as a Top 100 Global
Innovator is a prestigious distinction. It conrmsan organizations commitment to progressinginnovation globally, to the protection o ideas andto the commercialization o inventions.
Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global Innovators arethe world leaders in innovation.

4 THOMSON REUTERS 2011 TOP 100 GLOBAL INNOVATORS
The methodology used to determine the 2011Top 100 Global Innovators was developed byThomson Reuters and approved by severalIP-savvy, external organizations. While the nalmethodology is proprietary, we recognize theneed or a deeper explanation o how the list wascompiled.
The ollowing is a closer look at the data used and
how it was calculated and analyzed. ThomsonReuters Derwent World Patents Index (DWPISM),Derwent Patents Citation Index, QuadrilateralPatent Index, and Thomson Innovation, theIP intelligence and collaboration platorm, wereutilized in our research and analysis. Comparativeanalysis was done using the Thomson ReutersEikon platorm, the single source or nancialproessionals to turn inormation into action.
The criteria or the Top 100 Global Innovatoraward are:
1: SUCCESSPatenting an invention through one or morepatent oces is expensive. Not all patentapplications pass through the examinationprocess and are granted. The success metricmeasures the ratio o published applications(those patents which are led and publiclypublished by the patent oce but not yetgranted) to granted patents over the most recentthree years.
2: GLOBALProtecting an invention in major world markets isan indication o the signicant value a companyplaces on its intellectual property. The numbero innovative patents that have quadrilateralpatents in their patent amilies, according to theThomson Reuters Quadrilateral Patent Index,was calculated to create a ratio that shows whichcompanies place a high value on their portolios
in major world markets. The quadrilateral patentauthorities is comprised o the Chinese PatentOce, the European Patent Oce, the JapanesePatent Oce and the United States Patent andTrademark Oce.
3: INFLUENCEThe impact o an invention down the linecan be determined by looking at how oten itis subsequently cited by other companies intheir inventions. Through the Thomson ReutersDerwent Patents Citation Index database, wecounted citations to each organizations patents
over the most recent ve years, excludingsel-citations, and put a weighted value on thismeasurement o 50%.
4: VOLUMEThis award ocuses on companies that areresponsible or generating a sizeable amounto innovation. All organizations with 100 ormore innovative patents rom the most recentthree years were included in our analysis.An innovative patent is dened as the rstpublication in a patent document o a new
technology, drug, business process, etc. In DWPI,these are called basic patents. DWPI providesa record o patents published by nearly 50patent issuing authorities worldwide to enablea comprehensive picture o the innovationlandscape. Subsequent lings or the sameinvention are recorded as equivalents in DWPIand collated in patent amilies and, or thisanalysis, were not included.

The Market Cap Weighted Average revenueo the Top 100 Global Innovators increasedby 12.9 percent, more than ve percent morethan the S&P 500 or the same period (2010vs. 2009)
Top 100 Global Innovator companies morethan doubled the R&D spend o their S&P
500 counterparts 74.2 percent o the publicly-traded top 100
innovator companies had an increase in stockprice year over year
Other key ndings include:
The United States leads the world inSemiconductor & Electronic ComponentManuacturing

New ideas lie at the heart o innovation, but
ideas alone are not enough. Innovation requires
translating ideas into value-adding products
and services. . . . Bridging the gap between anidea and its benefcial result is the crucial step in
innovation. . . . Success will demand a greater
ability to quickly close the gap.

GEOGRAPHIC BREAKOUT
Thomson Reuters 2011 Top 100 GlobalInnovator companies span the globe. Thelargest percentage is rom North America: 40%.Asia accounts or 31% o the most innovativecompanies in the world and Europe or 29%. Abreakout o the Top 100 companies by country isin Figure 1.
In Asia, Japan dominates with 27% o therepresentation. As a testament to Japans solidinnovation oundation, it has representativecompanies in 12 o the 16 industries. The onlyother Asian nation present is South Korea, with4% o the companies. The lack o companies romChina is noteworthy and underscores the act thatalthough China is leading the world in patentvolume, quantity does not equate to infuenceand quality.
There is much broader representation acrossEurope, with six European nations having oneor more companies in the Top 100 Innovatorslist. France is the innovation leader in Europe,with 11 organizations spread across a numbero industries. Interestingly, all o the ScienticResearch entities in the list are rom France: IFPEnergies Nouvelles; CNRS, the French NationalCenter or Scientic Research; and Commissariat lnergie Atomique. Given the geographicootprint o France, its representation in the Top100 Global Innovator list is impressive.
Another European surprise is the Principality oLiechtenstein. This country o approximately 62square miles (just over 160 square kilometers)and approximately 35,000 people is also hometo one o the most innovative companies in theworld: privately owned machine manuacturerHilti Corporation.

CONCLUSION
Intellectual property is the bridge that connectsinnovation with economic growth. Withoutit there may be creativity but it wont havesustained marketability.
The Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global Innovatorcompanies are the world leaders in innovation.They exempliy the essence o innovation anddrive inventions or economic growth. They
encourage idea generation and the inventionprocess. They have established systems orvetting their innovation unnels and determiningwhich ideas are worthy o protection. Theyrigorously monitor prior art and the competitivelandscape, and prosecute the best-o-the-best interms o concept generation.
But, that is just the beginning. The Top 100Global Innovator companies also look atinnovation through a global lens. They determinethe market potential o an invention and activelyseek protection or it around the world. Theirstrategic rationale may dier, but they areone in the same when it comes to seeking andcapitalizing on the global potential o theirinventions.
Finally, they are viewed by their peers,competitors and others as making an impactuldierence. Their inventions are otentimessignicantly cited by others and are seen asounding technologies in their respective areas.
Thomson Reuters congratulates and thanksthe Top 100 Global Innovators or the spirit oinnovation they oster in their organizations andtheir adherence to IP systems and the protectiono intellectual rights.
