CiSRA Background
Since its inception in 1990, CiSRA has grown to become one of Australia's leading Research and Development organisations, with over 275 staff and annual revenues of $50 million. CiSRA is a joint subsidiary of Canon Inc. and Canon Australia, and a key facility in Canon's global R&D programme.
Building on Canon's strengths, CiSRA has been able to recruit the nation's top engineering talent, who have a diverse wealth of experience. The secret of CiSRA's success is the combination of skilled personnel, research strength, hardware and software development experience, and market consciousness. By combining all these factors in one R&D centre, CiSRA has been able to develop solutions for Canon all the way from conception to manufactured product.

Canon & Research Worldwide
Canon Inc. annually invests well over 8 percent of its net sales into
a Research and Development programme that is spread across the globe,
taking advantage of local expertise and developing technologies close
to the market in which they will be sold.
This research resulted in 1,893 US patent registrations in 2002 - the nineteenth straight year in which Canon finished among the top ten recipients. In fact, since 1995 Canon has ranked in the top 5, and in 2002 held 2nd position.
Additionally, in 2000 Canon was honoured as one of the greatest innovators of the 20th Century, positioned in ninth place in a ranking of companies that have received the most U.S. patents over the last 100 years with a total of 18,876 patents.
