The Canadian smartphone maker has once again reserved a spot, backed by its numerous smartphone patents. BlackBerry made to the list this year due to its efforts in reviving its business, and forming a separate business unit to look after its patent portfolio, and the recent launch of BlackBerry Passport smartphone, says the report.
BlackBerry was the only Canadian firm on the list. The list had several U.S. names like Xilinx, Google, Apple, AT&T, Oracle, and Microsoft. Exclusion of Facebook and Amazon was surprising. Majority of the companies on the list were from Japan.
Also, it is not the first time that BlackBerry has made it to the coveted list. BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSE:BB) (earlier Research in Motion) is a renowned name in the wireless innovation, transformed the mobile industry with the launch of the BlackBerry in 1999. Products from the Canadian Smartphone maker have transformed the way in which people connect.
