Intellectual Property Management Plan (Year 2025)

Intellectual Property Management Plan (Year 2025)

We have formulated three major strategic directions and continue to drive concrete implementation measures:

1. Establishing a Comprehensive IP Protection Mechanism

• The company organizes Intellectual Property Training Courses to strengthen employees' conceptual understanding of IP rights.

• We are simultaneously establishing IP Management Systems across all departments to safeguard the tangible results of innovative R&D and services through institutionalized operations.

2. Resource Integration and Implementation

• The company actively integrates internal and external resources for innovative R&D.

• We have established a Research and Development Design Management System and an Outsourced R&D Management System to enhance output efficiency and ensure the rigorous implementation of IP protection.

3. Core Management Categories

• Patent Management: Technical or design development is conducted by internal units, with external patent firms planning the patent portfolio. These patents are primarily used for product development to provide brand-extending merchandise and services.

• Trademark Management: An annual trademark inventory is conducted, and a trademark list is published in the internal shared repository to help all subsidiary units stay updated on the company’s latest intellectual property information.

• Trade Secret Management: Employees have a duty of confidentiality regarding the company's operations, business, and customer data. Whether current or former employees, they must not disclose information or use it for personal or third-party gain; violators will face legal liability.
