Our company will hold a business seminar. In recent years, as the manufacturing costs of various products have increased, there has been a growing interest in improving the productivity of manufacturing processes in corporate activities. Additionally, with the evolution and proliferation of artificial intelligence, manufacturing technologies utilizing AI have developed, and there is a trend of increasing related patent applications. Furthermore, there is a tendency for manufacturing contract companies (EMS/CDMO) that specialize in product manufacturing to become more widespread. To leverage such manufacturing technologies in business activities, it is essential to establish a patent strategy. In other words, understanding the trends in patent applications and determining what patents to obtain and how to utilize them are critical issues. In particular, by obtaining and utilizing broad and strong patents, manufacturing technologies can be maximally leveraged in business activities.
