Enhance product innovation and R&D capabilities by encouraging patent applications to strengthen the Company's control and use of IP rights.

5. IP Risks and Countermeasures
To avoid disputes and litigation that could reduce the Company's competitiveness and impact revenue, the following countermeasures have been established:
(1) Set up procedures and communication channels to handle related internal and external events promptly, assisting units in formulating response strategies.
(2) All contracts signed with suppliers include explicit IP non-infringement warranty clauses. In the event of IP infringement litigation, the suppliers are obligated to compensate the Company and bear related legal responsibilities.
6. Primary Uses and Contributions of IP to Operations
To avoid infringement during the manufacturing process, the Company has proactively engaged in developing its own patents and technologies since its inception. We have recruited talented individuals from both domestic and international markets to join our research team and have also assessed the feasibility of negotiating with foreign firms to obtain key technology usage licenses. This enhances the Company's value and competitive advantage. Additionally, the Company continuously cultivate a strong legal support team to ensure our IP is protected. Moving forward, our IP management will continue to align with Company strategies and operational goals, focusing on the acquisition, management, and utilization of IP rights to protect operational freedom and demonstrate corporate governance performance and sustainability vision.
