[Express Train - Episode 90] Lake Materials Develops Core Material TMA

Lake Materials is an organometallic materials company. It supplies materials to various industries including light-emitting diodes (LED), solar power, semiconductors, and petrochemicals. It produces organometallic chemicals such as trimethylaluminum (TMA) by combining methane (CH3) organic molecules with aluminum (Al) metal atoms.

Having secured the manufacturing technology for TMA, a key material, it has acquired global companies such as Samsung Electronics, TSMC, and Hanwha Q CELLS as customers. Worldwide, there are only four TMA manufacturers: Lake Materials, Grace (USA), Akzo Nobel (USA), and Lanxess (Germany).

Patent attorney Eom Jeong-han from BLT Patent Law Firm reviewed Lake Materials' patent and trademark application status.

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 future corporate value, as they signal the direction a listed company is heading. Some patent disclosures even act as direct triggers for stock price increases.

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

'Express Train' is an abbreviation for a broadcast that diligently searches for stocks soaring due to patents.
