Konica Minolta named one of top 100 global innovators

Konica Minolta has been named one of the Top 100 Global Innovators by Clarivate for the third consecutive year.

To create the top 100 global innovators list, Clarivate uses its own intellectual property (IP) and patent data to identify companies and organizations that have met the qualifying criteria of having filed 500 or more patent applications since 2000 and been granted 100 or more patents during the past five years. It then uses four factors: influence, success, globalization and rarity, to evaluate each of the candidates.

Konica Minolta owns high-level IP that includes automatic quality optimization in the Professional Print Business, which automates the machine adjustment, quality control and inspection processes of digital printing and realizes higher efficiency and user-friendly operation that does not require special skills. In its Medical Imaging Business, a Dynamic Radiography Analysis combines with Dynamic Digital Radiography to enable high-value-added image diagnosis.

‘Konica Minolta is committed to creating high-quality IP and highly profitable businesses that deliver sustainable corporate value and make a valuable contribution to solving social issues. The company does this through proactive investments and activities, a strong commitment to technology innovation, the empowerment of its teams and close collaboration with its customers and partners,’ said Konica Minolta in a statement.
