According to Thomson Reuters, the list is developed from “a scientific, unbiased approach to identify the organisations that are dedicated to innovation, committed to protecting patent rights globally, and whose inventions have worldwide influence.”

“All our engaged and highly qualified employees in R&D and Intellectual Property have a crucial significance for us being on the Thomson Reuters list. Their solid collaboration provides our strong patent portfolio that protects our inventions, and it is the dedication in the whole organisation to finding new ideas and developing products that makes us a world leading high-technology engineering group,” added Wijk.
