Companies and institutions this year were selected for the Top 100 Global Innovators by Clarivate Analytics, formerly the Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters, which is a global information services company. The innovators selected for recognition are chosen from among the most innovative organizations around the world, and 2016 was the sixth year for this list to be prepared. Clarivate, based on its patent database, analyzes trends in intellectual property and patents, and evaluates companies based on four main criteria, namely, 'volume,' 'success,' 'globalization,' and 'influence.' Clarivate then selects the innovators that secure protection for their intellectual property that embodies original ideas for inventions, and, by successfully commercializing these, become leading global organizations.
