Tapping into the global market with value and a culture of invention

      The system allows companies to acquire new technologies and increase profits, as they are entitled to inventions created by their employees in return for sufficiently compensating staff for their work.

      Employee Invention Reasonable Profit Adjustment
      Employees (outstanding inventions) -> Securing rights of inventoin -> Employees (outstanding inventions) -> Contniuous R&D / motivating research -> Employees (outstanding inventions)
