Sustainability is a global imperative, with companies worldwide striving to demonstrate their contributions. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN member states, outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a blueprint for a prosperous future. Innovation plays a key role, and to enable innovators to assess and derive actionable insights from the sustainable technology development, we have integrated the SDGs into our Intellectual Property analytics business intelligence solution, LexisNexis® PatentSight®

In 2021, we mapped the UN SDG targets and indicators to the global patent database and integrated them into the innovation analytics platform PatentSight offering an objective sustainability analysis based on precise and publicly disclosed technologies. This approach provides clear insights into current investments and future potential, enhancing transparency in sustainable innovation efforts.  

This year, we took it a step further and used the SDG mapping in PatentSight to publish a report, “Exploring the Global Sustainable Innovation Landscape: The Top 100 Companies and Beyond”. The report assesses the global patent landscape and reveals the Top 100 sustainable innovators in the world—ranked based on the quality of sustainability-related inventions they own. Using the objective lens of patents, you will gain new insights into regional and market dynamics shaping sustainable intellectual property strategies, industry deep dives, and in-depth analysis on specific SDGs along with visualizations illustrating the SDG-relevant patent landscape. It also shows how corporations and governmental bodies can leverage patent analytics to accelerate sustainable innovation.  

The LexisNexis approach to measuring sustainable innovation  

There are hundreds of thousands of patents held by companies and millions of patent applications. A manual review of all of this data to identify individual sustainability or insights into the sustainability activities of whole industries is a near-impossible task. Our patent experts have developed a solution by mapping 13 of the 17 SDGs (SDGs 8, 10, 16 and 17 are not technology-driven and are therefore not mappable to patents) to the PatentSight database of high-quality patent data from more than 95 patent authorities worldwide, analyzing over 147 million global patent documents behind 14 million patent families. The experts analyzed all UN SDG documentation on 13 goals, the targets related to them and their unique indicators that track progress. They then assessed how the UN describes the goals, how it measures them and what it suggests as actions for meeting them.  

The “Exploring the Global Sustainable Innovation Landscape” ranking shows the Top 100 corporate patent owners globally according to the absolute strength of their SDG related patent portfolios measured by the Patent Asset Index. The Patent Asset Index assesses the number of patents in a particular technology field, as well as patent quality as measured by the Technology Relevance—a patent’s impact on further inventions—and the Market Coverage—the economic size of jurisdictions in which the patent is protected. 

Several key findings on the Top 100 sustainable innovators include: 

  • 75% of the Top 100 ranking of global corporate patent portfolio owners stated in their annual reports that the UN SDGs were relevant to their business strategy and objectives. 
  • The Top 100 sustainable leaders, ranked by the absolute strength of their SDG-related patent portfolios, account for 27% of the entire global database (over 147 million global patent documents behind 14 million patent families). 
  • The regions with the most representation on the Top 100 list are the United States (33 companies), Japan (18 companies), China (17 companies), Germany (9 companies), and Korea (7 companies) 

A thorough analysis of the patent insights derived from the Top 100 unveils trends in contributions towards the attainment of the SDGs as well as the supporting technologies. The chart below shows the share of the top SDGs by Patent Asset Index of the Top 100.

Trends From the Top 100 Sustainable Innovators 8

In the Top 100 sustainable innovators there are three SDGs that dominate in the quantity and quality of patents:  

  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure with Samsung (ranked number 1 of the Top 100 sustainable innovators), Toyota Motor (3), and LG Chem (5) being the most influential in this area. 
  • SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being with companies Johnson & Johnson (2), Roche (9), and Samsung leading the pack. 
  • SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy with Toyota Motor (3), State Grid (8), and General Electric (7) contributing the most to this goal. 

We take a closer look at two of these goals—SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, and SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy—to get a view into what the underlying technologies mapped to those goals are, which of those technologies are strongest based on their Patent Asset Index, and the companies with the strongest SDG Patent Asset Index for those technologies.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being Top 100 sustainable innovators 

SDG 3 is defined as a goal to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.” The SDG targets in this goal range from reducing maternal mortality to preventing and treating substance abuse to achieving universal health coverage, just to name a few. The United Nations reports that “great strides have been made in improving people’s health in recent years. 146 out of 200 countries or areas have already met or are on track to meet the SDG target on under-5 mortality, and effective HIV treatment has cut global AIDS-related deaths by 52 percent since 2010”. The top 3 companies contributing to this goal by the strength of their patent portfolio are Johnson & Johnson, Roche, and Samsung. 

The chart below shows the Patent Asset Index of the technology categories present in SDG 3 as represented by the Top 100 leaders in sustainable innovators. We see that the strongest categories of technologies are in Digital Health (Olympus, 81), Cancer (Bristol-Myers Squibb, 25), and Chronic Respiratory Disease (Pfizer, 61). 

Figure 2: The Patent Asset Index of the technology categories represented by the Top 100 with SDG 03. Source: LexisNexis Report “Exploring the Global Sustainable Innovation Landscape: The Top 100 Companies and Beyond 

The chart below shows Quality vs Quantity for the Top 100 sustainable innovators within SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being as a focus goal. We see the general behavior is an exponential fall-off of the Competitive Impact as the Portfolio Size increases. But there are also five companies which beat the general trend—Johnson & Johnson, Roche, Medtronic (10), Philips (22), and Samsung.

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy Top 100 sustainable innovators 

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy is defined to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.” Its targets include increasing the global percentage of renewable energy, doubling the improvement in energy efficiency, and expanding and upgrading energy services for developing countries, all by 2030. The United Nations reports that the “latest data suggests that the world continues to advance towards sustainable energy targets. Nevertheless, the current pace of progress is insufficient to achieve Goal 7 by 2030” and “huge disparities in access to modern sustainable energy persist.” The top 3 companies contributing to this goal by the strength of their patent portfolio are Toyota Motor, State Grid, and General Electric. 

The chart below shows the Patent Asset Index of the technology categories present in SDG 7, as represented by the Top 100 sustainable innovators. There are quite a few strong categories, including Electric Vehicles (BYD, 98), Hybrid Vehicles (Toyota Motor), Energy Efficiency (OPPO, 96), and Blockchain (Ant Group, 50). The chart shows that almost all companies follow the general trend of a decreasing average quality with an increasing Portfolio Size.

Introduction

Episode 5 in Season 3 of the Cipher Vision Podcast series features Tim Pohlmann, CEO, LexisNexis IPlytics.

He joins us to discuss the world of SEPs, from conflict areas to new opportunities, sharing the benefits of clarity and drawing on high-quality data.

He chats to the hosts of the Cipher Vision podcast, who are:

Conversation Highlights

How would you describe what SEPs are?

A standard essential patent is a patent that claims an invention that reads on a technical standard.

If you implement a standard, let’s say, 4G, or 5G in a telephone, that is using certain technology that has been patented, and you’re implementing those patents as well.

Why does it get a little bit complicated? 

When you own a patent, you have exclusivity rights.

When you are joining the standards developing organization, you’re basically saying,  ‘I commit to licence my patents, I’m losing my exclusivity’. 

The royalty you can ask for the licence is capped, it has to be FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory).

The big question now is what is a reasonable grant rate?

On the scale of SEPs

What is particular about SEPs is that there’s so much licensing going on. 

The latest numbers show over $20 billion yearly licensing around SEPs. So it’s a lucrative and big market. And that’s why there’s so much at stake. 

The need for transparency in the space

Companies must declare patents that are potentially central to the standardization bodies. That’s good, it’s good to have databases to get started. But there’s no third party who makes any assessment if these patents are essential.

If you look at certain studies, it says that 10/ 20, maybe 30% of these are only essential, so the majority are not essential. 

What we do at LexisNexis IPlytics is we have intelligent ways to cross-correlate patent data with standards data.

The first industrial revolution supported Great Britain in becoming a commercial superpower in the mid-18th century. The long-term effects on the environment were not fully apparent until centuries later leading to the Clean Air Act of 1956, passed to preserve public health. Today, the issues of pollution control and climate change are considered critical to moving forward as a global community.

Yet, there are relatively few sources of objective and independent data available to identify the countries and companies leading in the innovation of sustainable technologies. There is an intrinsic bias in self-reported data from organizations – the staple information for traditional ESG analysis. Our view is that this void in sustainability analysis can be plugged in part through published, classified patent data as an indicator for sustainable innovation and investment.
