Global leader in R&D, IP-related activities
IP activities are being accelerated globally with patents being filed proactively in the U.S., Europe, China and Southeast Asia.
MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION has ranked second globally and first among Japanese firms in terms of international patent applica- tions filed in 2019.
According to the Switzerland-based World Intellectual Property Or- ganization (WIPO), the high rankings reflect Mitsubishi Electric’s posi- tioning of intellectual property (IP) as an important business resource and its aggressive linkage of IP activities and business and R&D strate- gies to support the company’s sustainable growth.
Mitsubishi Electric has been actively filing international patent ap- plications in line with the continuing globalization of its business, ranking among the top 10 internationally for the past six consecutive years and first among Japanese companies for five consecutive years. In recent years, the company’s patent applications in support of
IoT- and AI-supported solutions have been particularly prominent. Mitsubishi Electric’s IP and technical-standards strategies are closely integrated with the company’s business and R&D strategies. For example, the Head Office IP Division, which is under the direct control of the president, coordinates group-wide activities of IP divi-
sions in factories, R&D centres and affiliated companies.
Critical IP-related initiatives are formulated to support mainstay
businesses and important R&D projects.
In a statement, Mitsubishi Electric said IP activities are being acceler-
ated globally by filing patents proactively, prior to undertaking business development in promising emerging countries.
Resident officers are assigned to manage IP activities in the U.S., Eu- rope, China and Southeast Asia.
The company is emphasizing patent acquisition in support of interna- tional standards (e.g. standard essential patents) and in fields where in- ternational competition is intensifying, which is helping to strengthen product competitiveness and grow market share.
