Coca-Cola’s Patents: From Juice Dispensers to Artificially Sweetened Cereals

Coca-Cola is a company that has a focus on innovation that goes beyond the ability to create better tasting sodas or carbonated beverages. For example, Coke is working to ensure that 100,000 of its vending machines all over North America will be enabled to accept Apple Pay for drink purchases by the end of 2015. Coke’s vending machines have actually been the recipient of a great deal of R&D investment in recent years as the company has developed machines that respond to customer gestures or even interact with other vending machine customers located hundreds of miles away… As a member of the DJIA, Coca-Cola inhabits a fairly important area of our nation’s economy. In its most recent quarterly earnings report, Coke indicated that its global volume grew by about two percent during the 2014 fiscal year and enjoyed a full-year cash from operations increase to $10.6 billion.
