What measures has Mobis taken on the issue of intellectual property innovation?
Everyone knows that patents are very important in maintaining long-term competitiveness, expanding market capacity, and accelerating technological innovation. Especially in the automobile manufacturing industry where market competition is extremely fierce. Therefore, Mobis strives to promote patent innovation and plans to own 12,000 patents worldwide, an increase of nearly three times compared with today.
In order to improve its innovation and creation capabilities as soon as possible and promote the quantity and quality of invention patents, Mobis adopts a variety of measures. Rewards are given to internal employees for their inventions, and professional patent experts and agency staff are hired to assist employees in patent development and design, ensuring that scientific researchers can receive appropriate guidance from thesis topic selection to stability certification.
For foreign research laboratories, Mobis plans to hire local patent agent staff and authoritative experts to provide assistance and guide scientific research staff in product research and development. For opening up, it plans to recover patents from Korean and Chinese higher education institutions and research laboratories through industry-university cooperation and other methods.
Recently, Mobis announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of ICT technology with the Yonsei University Industry-Academic Cooperation Group in South Korea. The cooperation between the two parties this time mainly focuses on the professional fields of future mobile transportation such as autonomous driving, electrification and Internet of Vehicles platforms.
In particular, Yonsei University has promising technologies such as wireless communication, artificial intelligence, and battery control. Mobis plans to establish mid- and long-term product R&D cooperation through patent recovery. system. The Yonsei University Industry-Academic Cooperation Group can also commercialize its own patented technologies, thereby creating patent profits together with Mobis, and achieving mutually beneficial and win-win results together.

It is worth mentioning that Mobis still provides service support and cooperation to artistic creativity with development potential before the patent application is processed. Especially recently, with the rapid development of 5G communications and pure electric vehicles, there has been fierce patent market competition among companies in the automobile manufacturing industry and communications, rechargeable batteries and other industries. With relevant patents, you can have a beneficial influence in the fierce market demand, and can also be used as a bargaining chip when deducting franchise service fees or signing parts order information.
It is understood that Mobis has established a professional organization, which plays an important role in safeguarding patent rights, strengthening patent competitiveness and preventing patent competition. Mobis also plans to use the cooperation with Yonsei University as a starting point to strengthen cooperation with famous Korean and Chinese universities and scientific research organizations in the future, and achieve technological innovation and improve competitiveness by recycling their patents.
After the implementation of a series of measures, Mobis’ patent application volume has been effectively increased, with an average annual patent application processing increase of about 50%. More than 2,000 patent applications have been processed worldwide. At the same time, the patent structure owned by Mobis has gradually improved. High-end industry patents such as electrification and driverless driving account for half of the total number of patents owned today, truly ensuring an increase in quantity and quality.
