| Protection/Utilization of Intellectual Property Rights and Prevention of Infringement |
We consider the protection/utilization of intellectual property rights as an important activity for activating business and development strategies.

By accumulating this protection, we will continue to conduct stable development activities and achieve high quality products to contribute to society.
Meanwhile, we also respect the intellectual property rights of other companies and pay close attention to educational activities such as patent searches and continuous monitoring during development and design, as well as briefings on the status of other companies' rights to prevent infringement

KOVA (Korea Vacuum Ltd.) has not had a single industrial accident since its foundation, but we still need to focus on activities that eliminate the risks of remaining unsafe conditions and unsafe behaviors. Accidents will occur if we do not eliminate the "unsafe behavior" and "unsafe conditions" that form the bottom of disasters. Once again, we will strive to create a safe and healthy working environment where all workers can work with peace of mind by putting "safety and health first," which is the basic philosophy of occupational safety and health, into practice with the goal of no accidents.
