Ricoh has again been recognized in the Clarivate Top 100 Global Innovators 2024 list as announced today by Clarivate Plc. This recognition is given to organizations that demonstrate consistent, above-the-bar innovation excellence and sit at the very top of the global innovation ecosystem.
This marks the fifth selection of Ricoh, in addition to 2012, 2014, 2022, and 2023.
To select the Top 100 Global Innovators, Clarivate performs a comparative analysis of global invention data to assess the strength of every patented idea, using measures tied directly to their innovative power. Clarivate sets two threshold criteria that potential candidates must meet and then adds a measure of their patented innovation output over the past five years.
As Ricoh transforms into a digital services company, it is engaged in utilizing intellectual property to its business and technology strategies. Ricoh also collaborates with multiple stakeholders to innovate and acquire intellectual property and promotes its utilization.
In the 21st Mid-Term Management Strategy, which has begun from fiscal 2023, Ricoh will further develop data-driven intellectual property process and foster people capable of implementing it, while strengthening patent acquisition in the digital domain.
ESG target by fiscal 2025 is for digital services-related patent applications to account for more than 60% of the total number filed. That goal is the same percentage as the targeted contribution of digital services to Ricoh’s sales by that year.
