Intellectual Property Management Plan
The Company remains committed to investing in research and innovation, and has formulated an intellectual property management strategy aligned with both business operations and R&D strategy. This strategy aims to protect R&D outcomes, enhance competitiveness, and thereby maximizes returns for our shareholders.
Intellectual Property Management Strategy and Mechanism
To ensure proper management of the Company’s intellectual property (IP), while avoiding infringement of third-party IP rights and strengthening both transparency and effectiveness in corporate governance, the Company regularly discloses our intellectual property management plan that aligned with business objectives, along with its implementation status on the official website, and reports to the Board of Directors at least once a year.
To further enhance the Company’s IP management mechanism and safeguard employees’ rights in inventions and creations, the Company has established the Intellectual Property Rights Management Policy. These guidelines ensure the effective implementation of the IP management system, support the achievement of IP management policies and objectives, and thereby fortify the corporate governance framework.
Intellectual Property Risks, Response Measures, and Policies
The Company throughly assesses internal and external factors, stakeholder concerns, and potential opportunities and risks associated with intellectual property management, and addresses risks such as insufficient understanding of intellectual property, potential leakage of confidential R&D information, or potential infringement of third-party IP rights through education and training sessions for employees, ensuring its effective implementation.
To support long-term and sustainable development, the Company comprehensively considers internal and external factors and establishes a positive cycle IP management system and R&D processes. The Company’s IP management policies include:
Patent Management
To encourage employee engagement in creative inventions and R&D efforts, thereby enriching the Company’s intellectual property portfolio and enhancing competitiveness, the Company has established the Guideline Governing Intellectual Property Review and Incentive and the Guideline Governing Project and Professional Certification Incentive. Employees are granted rewards based on the evaluation results, which also serve as a reference for performance evaluations. Through internal evaluation mechanisms, incentive programs, IP education, and talent development, the Company ensures the protection of R&D outcomes, thereby maintaining our technological leadership.
Trade Secret Management
The Company has signed employment agreements with all employees, which clearly define intellectual property ownership, confidentiality obligations, and non-compete clauses. In addition, employee training is conducted to reinforce consciousness of trade secret protection, reminding all employees of their responsibility to safeguard business secrets related to their roles.
For the management of confidential internal information, the Company has established comprehensive control mechanisms to effectively oversee personnel, equipment, confidential documents, and the work environment. All internal documents are stored in a document management system, classified according to confidentiality levels, and access permissions are strictly regulated. Document retrieval must follow established procedures and receive proper approval, ensuring a complete audit trail.
For facilities and physical controls, restricted internal areas are clearly designated, and enhanced management measures are applied to sensitive areas, including access control and limiting the movement of clients and visitors, to ensure that trade secrets are not disclosed externally.
Implementation Status for the Year 2025
The Company’s intellectual property (IP) management plan is aligned with business objectives and was reported to the Board of Directors on November 7, 2025. Confidentiality measures have been established for patents, trade secrets, and technical documents, with electronic documents securely stored and managed in the document management system. In 2025, the Company conducted IP-related training sessions to enhance employees’ consciousness and understanding of intellectual property protection, with 19 participant attendances for a total of 35 training hours.
