Vital Statistics
An integral part of Canon's success as a technology
leader is its commitment to investing in Research and Development. Canon recruits
the best and the brightest to refine today's technologies and create new ones for
the future.
In both the hardware and software areas, Canon researchers
consistently produce innovative and useful solutions that are applied in everything
from fax communication to complex imaging systems.
Canon invests approximately 10% of its total revenue
in research and development. One result is that
Canon is consistently among the top ten corporations issued U.S. Patents.
