Gustav Brismark, Vice-President, Patent Strategy and Portfolio, Ericsson, said, “Substantial R&D efforts and creative inventors have ensured our position as the number-one patent holder in mobile telecom. The Inventor of the Year Award is an important means of acknowledging outstanding contribution to these valuable company assets.”
On winning the award, Thomas Cheng said, “A single great invention can transform a very difficult problem into real applications and bring real benefits to the end-user and value to the economy. That is why Ericsson should train and nurture innovative engineers in the company.”
