Selection description
Data source:
The list of candidates comes from the list of national, Guangdong and Guangzhou intellectual property advantage demonstration enterprises in the past five years, the list of key enterprises in intellectual property protection, and the list of high-tech enterprise association members. Patent-related data such as total invention volume, patent grant rate, globalization, influence and growth in this report are mainly derived from companies' patent data from 2015 to 2019 in Clarivate Analytics' patent database. Enterprise industry classification data comes from the official website of the enterprise, the annual report of the enterprise and the well-known domestic recruitment website.
Selection system:
In this list, GDI think tank scientifically, comprehensively and objectively evaluates the innovation ability of enterprises from five aspects, namely the total number of inventions, patent grant rate, globalization, influence and growth.
The total number of inventions in this report is based on the De Winter patent family, and each De Winter patent family is counted as one invention. In the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), using the "one invention, one record principle", all subsequent applications for the same invention patent are recorded as "equivalent patents" and are grouped into the same "patent family".
As one of the standards to measure the quality of innovation, the patent grant rate is the ratio of the number of inventions granted to the total number of inventions in the past five years.
Globalization The Globalization indicator indicates the extent to which a company seeks protection for its patents in all markets around the world, and is primarily measured by the number of international patents a company has. An international patent is a patent that has been successfully applied for and granted in a foreign country.
Influence The influence of a patented invention can be considered by subsequent references to the invention by other institutions in the patent application process. The impact index of this report calculates the patent citation frequency of enterprises' patents in the past five years after excluding self-citation.
This report evaluates the growth rate of each company by calculating the compound growth rate of total inventions in the past five years.
