Methodology
GlobalData’s 3i Innovation Framework identifies companies’ innovation potential using novel data sources including patents, filings, jobs, and deals and ranks them on 19 key innovation quality and strength indicators.
Patents are the primary dataset used, and we calculate innovation quality indicators for each company using our exhaustive patent dataset, which has 130+ million patents.
The indicators are grouped into three main pillars:
- Intensity: a company’s innovation activity and focus
- Impact: the impact of a company’s innovation on other innovators in and outside its sector
- Ingenuity: the originality of a company’s inventions and investments in disruptive technologies
