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.
