INDIA: Xerox Corp. continues to expand its rich patent portfolio filled with innovation that helps simplify, speed up and create more efficient ways for work to get done in enterprises around the world. The company received 1,030 US patents in 2011.
The tally includes patents from Xerox wholly-owned subsidiaries; Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and XMPie -- all Xerox companies. Xerox's joint venture in Japan, Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd, received 588 US patents in 2011. When taken together, the Xerox group garnered 1,618 US patents, placing Xerox eighth on the IFI Patent Intelligence list worldwide.
“Through our innovation, we’re helping our clients be more agile in today’s tough business environment. Xerox innovation helps make it easier to mine context from the massive amounts of content needed to run their operation and can create a more sustainable enterprise,” said Sophie Vandebroek, Xerox CTO and president of the Xerox Innovation Group. “Whether it’s collaboration with industry or university partners, co-creating with our customers, conducting first-of-kind pilots in US hospitals or remote villages in India - we innovate. It’s part of our heritage and a priority for our future.”
The company’s researchers develop new technologies resulting in real-world products and services. A growing number of patents reflect Xerox’s focus on integrating innovation into the company’s services business. For example, Patent Nos. 7,877,423 and 8,015,111 cover proprietary ways for state governments to better manage electronic payments, like child support from employer to recipient. Patent No. 7865437 is for e-Childcare, a unique, paperless, web-based time and attendance system that simplifies the processing of subsidized childcare payments.
Xerox has filed nearly 58,000 patents around the world since 1930.
