Intellectual property is a legal right based on the results of innovation, and it is also a very important market resource. For enterprises, the creation, protection, application and management of intellectual property rights determine the operation ability and market position of enterprises. In recent years,XTO, as one of the drafters of the industry standard of the conveyor belt sub-technical committee of the national Belt and Standardization Technical Committee, the most growing enterprise of the rubber industry, the national high-tech enterprise and the single champion enterprise of the manufacturing industry in Shandong Province, and the “Specialized and New Enterprise” in Shandong Province. We have always actively participated in the creation, protection and development of intellectual property rights, expanded the influence of intellectual property rights, and formed a good atmosphere for respecting knowledge, encouraging innovation and protecting property rights.
The most important assets of modern enterprises are no longer plants and equipment, but research and development results and well-known trademarks, goodwill, brands and other intellectual property. They are the source of high profits for enterprises and the key to success or failure in the competition. This requires that enterprises must have a scientific management organization, responsible for the management of intellectual property, formulate enterprise intellectual property strategy, supervise the implementation of the system, and ensure that the enterprise intellectual property work is implemented. At XTO, the Corporate Management Department is its intellectual property management department. At the same time, the enterprise management Committee jointly with the Ministry of Enterprise Management to carry out various forms of special intellectual property learning activities, strengthen the publicity of intellectual property protection, strengthen the intellectual property training of enterprise managers and scientific and technological personnel, and enhance their awareness of intellectual property protection.
