Intellectual Property Management

Intellectual property rights are intangible assets for a company. In order to enhance competitiveness, we encourage our employees to be innovative, to produce high-quality patents, and to protect our business secrets, research and development results at the same time. In addition, we create sustainable advantages and values of our Company by establishing and implementing patent management regulations to protect our product design and patent monetization.

The Legal Department under the President Office is responsible for assisting the R&D Department with patent application and maintenance process. Before filing patent applications, our Company may have the Legal Department or the professional patent consultant to carry out patent search to minimize the infringement risk and protect our intellectual properties. Our Company conducts internal proposals and foreign patent evaluation through the e-patent platform, and entrusts professional patent consultants and patent firms to assist in the review and submits patent applications for different countries. Our Company also provides patent bonuses according to internal patent management measures to encourage employees to propose proposals and create high-quality patents. After obtaining patents, our Company collects patent fee details through the e-patent platform, conducts regular inventory checks and re-evaluates patents to control costs.
