Patent Boart Names Number OneScorecard has Leviton at top

Leviton received the ranking on The Patent Scorecard in the area of industrial components and fixtures

Founded in 1906 at the dawn of the electrical era, Leviton is a third-generation family-owned and operated business.
Leviton Manufacturing, a North American producer of electrical and electronic wiring devices, has been ranked number one for the second consecutive year by the Patent Board, a provider of best practices research, tools and metrics for patent analysis and intellectual property investment.

The Patent Board tracks and analyzes innovation, movement and the business value of patent assets across a variety of industries on a global basis.

Leviton received the ranking on The Patent Scorecard in the area of industrial components and fixtures. The Patent Board’s scorecard rates corporate innovation across 17 industries and combines a number of industry-standard metrics to arrive at measures of patent portfolio quality, technological strength and breadth of impact. The aggregate score received by a company determines its ranking.

“We are pleased that our patent portfolio was so highly ranked by the Patent Board,” says Donald J. Hendler, president and CEO of Leviton. “As part of our intellectual property, our patents represent strongly-valued strategic assets that distinguish our products in the industry and which, as a primary business objective, we work diligently to protect. Given the very high profile of the companies included on the Patent Board’s scorecard, we couldn’t be more pleased to be at the top of the list.”

The Patent Board’s scorecard criteria includes measurements of a company’s:

  • Technology strength.
  • Industry impact.
  • Patents granted.
  • Science strength.
  • Research intensity.
  • Innovation cycle time.
