Basic Policy and Management of Our Intellectual Property
Regarding intellectual property as essential resource in business activities, we proactively engage in obtaining and utilizing our development results as intellectual assets. Based on the mid- to long-term policy "Develop a Business Culture that Respects Intellectual Property," we enhance our intellectual property framework, working with Intellectual Property, R&D and other divisions.
As of April 2012, the SII Group owns about 2,500 patents in Japan and about 3,400 patents overseas.
