Hon Hai Precision Industries continues to dominate the industry 2/2/2010 2:55:37 PM According to The Patent Board’s Electronics & Instruments Patent Scorecard™ published in The Wall Street Journal, Yuen Foong Yu Paper Mfg. Co. Ltd. climbs over 100 spots into the Top 10 through acquisition.
The latest Electronics & Instruments Patent Scorecard™ was released today and has ranked 189 of the top Electronics & Instruments companies according to the relative strengths of their patent portfolios as measured by Technology Strength™. The Patent Scorecard™ provides an overall assessment of a company’s recent intellectual property quality and quantity at a broad industry level. The Patent Board tracks seventeen industry scorecards and also creates customized scorecards that provide insight with leading performance indicators for an entire portfolio and its closest competitors, scalable at the technology or business unit level.
Hon Hai Precision Industries (Taipei, Taiwan) continues to hold the top spot and dominate the industry. The company had an increase in patent count of 7.7% for the quarter, the same as the industry average. Its patent count is almost double the next closest company. Hon Hai also has the lowest Innovation Cycle Time™ in the top 10 at 6.5 years, and has an Industry Impact™ almost 70% higher than the industry average. Honeywell Intl. Inc (Morristown, New Jersey, USA) moves up one spot to #2 this Patent Scorecard, with increases in almost every indicator. While patent growth was up 7.4%, the company increased its Industry Impact™ by almost 9%, leading to an overall Technology Strength™ increase of over 12%. Honeywell is also patenting more around science, with increases in Science Strength™ of over 26% and a Research Intensity™ up almost 8%.
Falling one spot to 3rd this quarter is the Samsung Group (Seoul, South Korea) mainly due to low patent growth of 2.8%, which is almost two thirds below the industry average. A 7% decline in Industry Impact™ helped push its overall Technology Strength™ down over 8%. Holding on to the 4th spot is LG Display (Seoul, South Korea) which had a slight increase in patent count of just over 1%. The company maintained its other indicators for the quarter, except for Science Strength™, which dropped almost 20%.
