Intellectual Property Management

In the face of intense competition, Everlight Chemical continues to strengthen its technological foundation and develop new high-tech products. We recognize intellectual property as a highly important asset. To safeguard our competitive advantages, we have developed a business model that drives value creation through intellectual property strategies which also integrates the Company’s operational goals.

  • Establish and continuously improving our IP management system
  • Integrate IP resources and capture related business opportunities
  • Enhance IP awareness through communication & training

We utilize an online management platform and have created our Intellectual Property Management Manual. Through daily management, continuous improvement, internal/external audits, and management reviews, we review the details of our intellectual property management system to ensure its effectiveness and strengthen the Company’s intellectual property management capabilities.

By implementing an evaluation mechanism, incentive programs and training, we encourage employees to participate in innovation and take action to protect the Company’s R&D accomplishments. The committee regularly reviews and maintains the Company’s patents to ensure that the Company’s intellectual property is properly managed and protected.

Based on the trade secret management system we have established per TIPS standards, and combined with our information security management system (ISMS), we protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of trade secrets in our operation, further safeguarding the Company’s core competitiveness.
