Wistron has been recognized as one of the 2025 Top 100 Global Innovators by Clarivate. Since 2022, Wistron has been honored with this recognition for four consecutive years. The annual list from Clarivate, a global leader in providing transformative intelligence, identifies and ranks organizations leading the world in technology research and innovation. The Top 100 organizations prioritize innovation as a central part of their business strategy.
Wistron positions itself as a leading technology service provider, showcasing exceptional corporate resilience with its global presence, effectively meeting customer needs and adapting to market changes. In terms of patent strategy, the company’s patent team collaborates closely with the R&D units, leveraging brainstorming sessions, patent big data analysis, invention disclosure review meetings and other related mechanisms to uncover high-quality and high-value ideas and generate goal-oriented invention proposals. Additionally, a checklist of more than three hundred review items has been established to strengthen the review of the patent specifications and implement strict management and control of patent quality.
Jeff Lin, President and CEO of Wistron, said, “We are honored to be recognized for the fourth consecutive year in 2025 as one of the Top 100 Global Innovators. Wistron places great emphasis on innovation and intellectual property management, continuously investing substantial resources in the field of artificial intelligence to maintain its technological leadership. It also introduces new products and technology services with innovative features that yield higher profit margins and add more value. At the same time, Wistron builds, accumulates, maintains, and manages a more comprehensive and forward-looking patent portfolio, covering various countries and regions and a wide range of technological fields, demonstrating a diversified and globalized patent strategy.”
Gordon Samson, President, Intellectual Property, Clarivate, said, "Being recognized as a Top 100 Global Innovator is a remarkable achievement given the pace of change - since 2000, we’ve seen an 80-fold increase in the volume of inventions. Competition is more global than ever before, and developments in one region can have a significant global impact. Hyperconnectivity and technological convergence play a pivotal role in driving innovation. The Top 100 organizations target innovation at the deployment and diffusion of technology and knowledge.”
The Top 100 Global Innovators rankings are generated by the Clarivate Center for IP and Innovation Research. Their analyses are underpinned by rigorous research leveraging the proprietary Derwent Strength Index, derived from the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) and global patent data to measure the influence of ideas, their success and rarity, and the investment in inventions.
