Since Taiwan officially joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) on January 1, 2002, it has had a huge impact on my country's industry. In the future, the government will continue to sign trade agreements with other countries to accelerate its integration with international trade. Therefore, competitors of Taiwanese companies must face challenges from other parts of the world in addition to competition from major international manufacturers. Only by acquiring key intellectual property can companies promote profitable growth and create considerable economic value.
According to statistical surveys, the competitiveness of Taiwan's product innovation has been recognized internationally, but Taiwan's industries have suffered from patent infringement, lawsuits and settlements.About NT$100 billion royalties are paid every year, and by 2011 it will reach NT$150 billion.
After paying huge royalties successively, most enterprises will definitely realize that the only way to sustainable development of enterprises is to continuously invest in R&D resources and not pursue innovation, and to establish a correct concept of intellectual rights to protect R&D results.
At present, although domestic manufacturers have gradually realized the importance of intellectual property, not all industries and enterprises have rich experience in the management and application of intellectual property, which makes large enterprises face price-cutting competition in the international market, and is related to Litigation troubles.
Compared with well-known domestic manufacturers who are actively engaged in intellectual property deployment, due to the slow pace of patent deployment, some Chinese companies still often face infringement lawsuits from multinational companies, such as the patent infringement lawsuit between HTC and Microsoft, Apple, and Nokia in 2014 Losing the lawsuit resulted in the payment of royalties to three foreign companies every year. Regardless of whether the infringement lawsuit is caused by infringement or because of competitors’ competitive strategies to avoid market loss, for example, in 2014, an American jury found that Samsung Electronics (Samsung) infringed two patents of Apple (Apple), and ordered Samsung to pay Apple 100 million $19.6 million.
Intellectual property rights have become one of the means of global competition. In the trend of the knowledge economy in the 21st century, the creation and protection of intellectual property rights will ensure an important indicator of corporate competitiveness.
