The Patent Board Review provides complete indicator data for the top companies ranked on a normalized Technology Strength™. Normalization of this ranking indicator allows for cross industry comparisons, factoring out industry dynamics and leveling the playing field. This can help identify highly innovative companies regardless of the industry to which they belong. For companies who span multiple industries, the calculation is based on a weighted normalization, factoring in their industry strength based upon their patent activity level within that industry.

Patent Portfolio Indicators

Quality	Quantity	Science	Speed
Technology Strength™: provides an aggregate assessment of patents and innovation by considering the combined quality and quantity aspects of a company’s portfolio. Industry Impact™: quantifies how influential a company’s patent portfolio is on the development of technologies in other companies, compared to rest of the industry.	Patents Granted: equals the number of industry-specific U.S. patents granted in a given year, excluding design and other special-case inventions. Only industry-specific patent counts are represented for the multi-industry companies.	Science Strength™: measures, at an aggregate level, the degree to which a company’s patent portfolio is linked to core science. Research Intensity™: tracks a company’s level of fundamental research in a given industry compared to other companies, portfolios and patents across the same technology areas.	Innovation Cycle Time™: indicates the speed at which a company turns leading-edge technology and core research into patent assets. Measured in years, a lower number is most desirable.
