In April 2009, over 200 inventors from the Endress+Hauser Group met at the ‘Innovators Meeting’ 2009 at the University of Basel, Switzerland. The event celebrated the 200 inventions for which new patents were applied for last year. This number of applications was the highest ever, well above the previous year’s record.

“The ‘Innovators’ Meeting’ is designed to show our appreciation of our inventors,” stressed Klaus Endress, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group. “Innovations and patents are the foundations of our company’s success in the future. Endress+Hauser worldwide holds over 4000 live patents and patent applications.”
The University of Basel, a place of learning and research, was the ideal venue for the inventors to exchange information about their inventions. This meeting also proved a good occasion to expand and cultivate networks.
The highlight of the event was the announcement of the ‘Patent Rights Incentive Awards’. This year’s awards went to two exceptional patents in sensor engineering. Klaus Endress and his deputy Michael Ziesemer jointly handed over the award certificates and the trophies.
