Samsung ranked 2nd Most Innovative Technology Company of 2021

Capital on Tap has recognized Samsung Electronics as one of the Most Innovative Companies of the Year, thanks to its many technology patents. Like last year, Samsung ranked 2nd most innovative tech company in 2021, behind Huawei.

Samsung Electronics applied for 9,499 patents in 2021, while Huawei is in the lead with 9,739 patents. Overall, however, Samsung is the most innovative technological company in the world - at least judging by the total number of technology patents it received this year and in previous years combined, that is, 263702 versus 100116 from Huawei.

Samsung Electronics has ranked among the top 10 innovators of the past decade in several areas, including virtual and augmented reality (VR / AR), 5G technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI / ML), and autonomous driving.

Since 2011, Samsung has not received as many patents as other competitors, but even so, the company has a rich enough catalog to remain at the top of the list. It has a patent advantage of over 50,000 over Sony, the second largest technology patent holder.
