Innovation at Work
As a global company, we benefit from gathering
the unique insights of the most skilled researchers
from around the world. Across five research
centers in the U.S., Canada, Europe and India, our
innovators are working together with partners and
customers to explore new ways of turning ideas into
differentiated value.
And it’s clear that these efforts are working. One
measure of how well we’re doing is the number
of patents our innovators are awarded. Currently,
we have more than 11,500 active patents in our
portfolio with 1,900 U.S. patents awarded to Xerox
last year. As a result, our patent issuance is up
17 percent, ranking the Xerox group in the top
10 for patents granted in 2012.
If you look behind the scenes of our labs, you’ll
find Xerox exploring the future in unexpected
but relevant ways. Sure, you’d see work that’s
broadening the boundaries of what’s possible
in digital printing, but you’d also find renowned
work on intuitive data analysis and a variety of
sustainable technologies and innovations that
reflect today’s Xerox. Here’s a closer look at how
innovation can simplify the ways work gets done.
Today’s Xerox is a company that was built
on innovation. It defines and differentiates us.
Every year, the Xerox group, which includes our
partnership with Fuji Xerox, invests well over a
billion dollars to discover new ways to make
our customers more successful.
