Three Ericsson employees who submitted in all 275 patents in radio technology have been named “Inventors of the Year”. It is the 17th consecutive year that Ericsson puts the spotlight on individuals with exceptional ideas and contributions to the company’s patent portfolio. The Inventors of the year are Thomas Cheng, Paul Schliwa-Bertling and IanaSiomina.

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.”

Schliwa-Bertling said, “By working on patents, you can drive technology development and keep the position as technology leader. Without patents, you have to depend on other companies. This is a sign that we are looking into the future.”

Iana Siomina’s said, “My work is closely related to standardization, and thus many of the ideas are standard-essential. For Ericsson, being a patent leader is a true sign of innovation, strong contribution to the technology development and competitive products, and I am proud to be a part of that.”
