KOKUSAI ELECTRIC CORPORATION (President and CEO: Fumiyuki Kanai) has been selected for the Innovation Momentum 2025: The Global Top 100 announced by LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions (“LexisNexis”), a U.S. company that offers patent analytics solutions, among other operations, based on global patent data. This is the first time our company has been selected, and our company is among only five Japanese companies to be selected this year.

Innovation Momentum: The Global Top 100 identifies and selects companies leading in innovation by analyzing the dynamics of technology development based on patent data. This is the fourth year of this announcement. Companies are selected based on the recognition of their patent value, among other factors. To achieve this, LexisNexis uses a patent analytics solution, LexisNexis® PatentSight+, to analyze its database of nearly 16 million global valid patent families, revealing the momentum and evolution of technology development over the last two years.

Our group regards intellectual properties, which are results of corporate activities, including research and development, as important management resources and recognizes the importance of intellectual property activities in business operations. Our group’s selection was the result of the recognition of its patent value, among other factors. Our group will continue working to enhance corporate value, such as by building a more robust intellectual property portfolio.

Under the corporate slogan “Technology & Tai-wa for Tomorrow,” we will pursue economic, environmental, and social values from both business and ESG (resolving environmental and social issues and strengthening governance) aspects, with the aim of contributing to the achievement of SDGs and realizing a sustainable society and our group’s sustainable development.
