Clarivate Analytics selected "2016 Top 100 Global Innovators" by utilizing strict and objective data compiled from its value-added patent citation database "Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI)," which is the world's largest one in this category, its intellectual property intelligence platform "Thomson Innovation," and the company's original basis for evaluation. In the screening process of the award, Clarivate Analytics uses scientific and objective methodology involving four main criteria of "patent volume," "application-to-grant success," "globalization" and "citation influence." This time, Clarivate Analytics commended SDK's high performance in "globalization" and "citation influence," and rated the latter especially high. (In the screening process, Clarivate Analytics analyzed various organizations' patent activity records for the last five years. As for "globalization," meanwhile, records for the past three years were analyzed.)
