Our Innovation History
Xerox has a rich history of innovation. As the inventors of Ethernet over 50 years ago, we helped build the foundation for today's Internet. In fact, not known to many, the Ethernet's first commercialization was as a communication bus in our production publishing systems in the early 1990s.
Chester Carlson's invention of xerography more than 85 years ago was an extraordinary milestone in the development of the modern information age, as now individuals could share and access information much more easily.
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.
