Intellectual Property Management and enforcement

Intellectual Property Management

In order to promote products and maintain hard-won innovative technologies, the Company has formulated intellectual property strategies that combine the Company’s operational goals and R&D resources, and established an excellent intellectual property right management plan to create an operation model based on the Company’s value, to protect the Company’s R&D outcomes and strengthen our competitive advantage.

Management of patents

In order to establish an intellectual property right system, the Company has established the intellectual property reward management regulations internally to encourage employees to submit applications for invention patents and continue to accumulate intellectual property rights. The evaluation and review process are conducted through the patent proposal system established by the patent offices within the Group for managing patent proposals, patent search reports, and controlling the quantity and quality of patent applications. Externally, for patent litigation triggered by the lawsuits against the domestic and foreign companies of the LED industry and end customers in the courts of various countries, the Company’s Legal Affairs and Intellectual Property Department will immediately collect relevant information and conduct search and research related patent scopes. The Department will make technical exchanges and discussions with the Technology Development Department and R&D Department and related cooperating manufacturers to confirm if there is also the risk of infringement.

In addition, on the layout of patents, the Company’s patent offices within the Group plan the layout

and application of patents.Regarding the development of new products of the Company, the Technology Development and R&D Department will in the early stage of R&D conduct a prior art search through the Legal Affairs and Intellectual Property Department to avoid patent infringement problems.

In addition, in order to expand the sales scale of products, the Company not only applies for the

patent right itself, but also signs patent licensing contracts with international leading manufacturers to enhance the strength of the Company’s patent right protection, thereby obtaining sales orders and improving business performance.

Business secret management

The company and all formal employees have signed a confidentiality agreement.
