Methodology

GlobalData’s 3i Innovation Framework identifies companies’ innovation potential using novel sources of data including patents, filings, jobs and deals and ranks them on 19 key innovation quality and strength indicators.

Patents is the primary dataset used, and for each company, we calculate innovation quality indicators using our exhaustive patents dataset, with 130+ million patents.

The indicators are grouped in three main pillars:

  1. Intensity: a company’s innovation activity and focus
  2. Impact: the impact of a company’s innovation on other innovators in and outside its sector
  3. Ingenuity: the originality of a company’s inventions and investments in disruptive technologies
