In order to strengthen the leading position in the industry and maintain advanced technological achievements, Gudeng has formulated an intellectual property strategy that combines Gudeng's operational goals and research and development resources, and established a set of operating models that create company value through intellectual property rights.
1. Patent Protection Measures:
Gudeng's intellectual property management strategy mainly includes patent layout strategy, offensive patent layout, patent application layout expansion and total number of patents reorganization and so on.Through the implementation of the internal audit mechanism, reward system, intellectual property education and personnel training, Gudeng's research achievements and technological leadership are protected.
In order to build a solid portfolio of intellectual property rights, internally, Gudeng designs a diversified encouragement of innovation mechanism to continuously encourage employees to produce intellectual property; At the same time, a systematic management system for intellectual property rights is established, supplemented by a hierarchical review and evaluation process, taking into account the quality of employee patent applications and market layout.
Externally, it has close contacts and technical exchanges with local and foreign patent authorities in major foreign markets through re-agents, so that patent examiners can better understand the content of Gudeng's technical applications, improve examination efficiency, and obtain high-quality patent protection.
2. Business Secret Protection:
Business secrets are critical to Gudeng's competitive advantages such as technological leadership, manufacturing excellence, and customer trust. It is not only focusing on the protection of specific intellectual assets.In order to comprehensively and effectively manage the innovation of business secrets, Gudeng establishes records with checklists and integrates and uses business secrets that have Gudeng's competitive advantages.
If Gudeng is unable to obtain or maintain a specific technology or intellectual property authorization or fails to prevent Gudeng’s intellectual property rights from being infringed, and a related infringement lawsuit occurs, it may:
1. Gudeng cannot manufacture specific products and sell specific services , Or use specific technology;
2. Weaken Gudeng’s competitiveness against competitors who have benefited from infringement of Gudeng’s intellectual property rights, thus reducing Gudeng’s chances of generating revenue. In this regard, Gudeng has taken relevant measures to minimize the possible loss of shareholder rights due to intellectual property claims and litigation. These measures include: strategically obtaining strategic authorization from certain specific semiconductor companies or other legal entities, immediate defensive and/or offensive intellectual property protection for Gudeng's technology and business, and active defense against excessive patent litigation
