Our Innovation History
Xerox has a proud tradition of pioneering research and continues to be in the forefront of innovation. Chester Carlson's invention of xerography more than 70 years ago was an extraordinary milestone in the development of the modern information age, as now individuals could much more easily share and access information.
Xerox has a rich history of innovation. As the inventors of Ethernet over 30 years ago, we helped build the foundation for today's Internet. In fact, not known to many, the Ethernet's first commercialisation was as a communication bus in our production publishing systems in the early 1990s.
Our heritage of innovation continues to flourish. We have been issued over 50 thousand patents worldwide, and are issued 2 patents each and every day. This is a clear indication of the creativity and innovative spirit of our scientists and engineers.
