The IP Department will promote IP activities based on business strategies and optimize the IP portfolio through cross-organizational information sharing and dialogue from on-site IP meetings to discussions with management and reports to the Board of Directors, with the "three-pronged approach" of the Business Divisions, Research and Development Division, and IP Department as the axis.
In addition, in the growth areas of ICT & Energy and Healthcare, we will promote "offensive IP" aimed at establishing market superiority and in Sustainable Living, we will promote "stable value-creating IP" aimed at maintaining business competitiveness, and work to enhance business value and generate cash through intellectual property.
