Intellectual Property Management
ChipMOS has formulated an intellectual property (IP) management policy that incorporates the company‘s operational goals and R&D direction, and set up an IP management unit responsible for establishing IP management related measures to ensure the implementation and execution quality of IP protection, while strengthening the company’s competitive advantage. In order to encourage employees to enhance their innovative strength and accumulate the company’s IP capacity, the IP management unit will share IP related information from time to time to deepen the concept of intellectual property, and has developed the “Invention Proposal Reward Management Procedure” and launched an electronic “IP Management System” for the employees to effectively capture the IP information and implement IP management.
