Under the new management plan “Denka Value-Up,” we are focusing on global development and open innovation. While the importance of the compliance with the protection of intellectual property (IP) rights has been increasing, we have continued to engage in the following activities.
First, we focus on “Patent Clearance Search” in order to respect the IP rights held by other companies. We carry out search regularly and share the results with related departments to strengthen the prevention of infringement of such rights.
Second, we continually focus on education. In addition to providing the researchers with patent application training, we impart information and knowledge on the protection of IP rights mainly for employees at sales, corporate planning and administrative departments by utilizing e-learning with a view to raising their compliance awareness related issues.
