LexisNexis found that the quality of Coupang’s patent portfolio is nearly four times stronger than the industry average.

"Achieving this inaugural inclusion in the Top 100 Global Innovators list is a worthy recognition for Coupang, which has nearly doubled the size of its patent portfolio over the last two years while also dramatically improving patent quality,” said Marco Richter, Senior Director of IP Analytics and Strategy for LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions. “From cutting-edge robotics to first-of-their-kind logistics systems powering its fulfillment centers, Coupang's patent filings demonstrate its leadership across the many areas of its business, and we look forward to following its continued innovations in the years to come."

The Top 100 list identifies the world’s innovation leaders by analyzing LexisNexis’ database of nearly 16 million global patent families across different industries, geographies and technologies. It tracks exceptional shifts in patent quality over the last two years, with Coupang rising through the rankings due to its frequent citation by other patents – landing it among the top 12 information technology companies in the world.
