Published 29 Jan.2020 10:15(KST)

BigTech is developing electronic warfare system direction-finding devices, military power supply units, IFF equipment, TICN devices, and other defense products. Additionally, it is also engaged in a public bicycle unmanned rental business.

The electronic warfare system direction-finding device was developed in collaboration with the Agency for Defense Development and is deployed and operated on naval vessels. To sustain continuous sales growth in the electronic warfare business sector, BigTech has separately developed a small electronic warfare device (ACES-I) alongside the existing direction-finding device (SONATA). The small electronic warfare device (ACES-I) is a miniaturized and lightweight version of the existing direction-finding device, designed to enhance the survivability of small and medium-sized naval vessels.

Patent attorney Um Jeong-han from BLT Patent Law Firm reviewed BigTech's patent and trademark application status.

Publicly listed companies on the domestic stock market disclose patent acquisition information through the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure system. However, many stock investors tend to overlook patent disclosures.

Not only patents but also trademark registrations serve as important indicators for understanding the future direction of listed companies and assessing their future corporate value. Some patent disclosures even act as direct triggers for stock price increases.

It is not easy for ordinary investors to grasp the impact of patent disclosures on companies or to check trademark application statuses one by one. Asia Economy, together with patent attorney Um Jeong-han from BLT Patent Law Firm, is reviewing the patent and trademark application status of listed companies through the 'Express Train' program.
