We strictly adhere to domestic laws and regulations, international treaties/agreements, and internal policies such as the Intellectual Property Management Measures and Trade Secret Protection Measures, implementing proactive measures to protect intellectual property and trade secrets. 

Focusing on core technologies in resource development and battery materials, we have built a patent portfolio with over 1,000 global patent applications. Through industry-academia-research collaboration, we promote technology sharing, participate in standard-setting initiatives, and drive open innovation.

We respect third-party intellectual property and trade secrets, strictly prohibiting employees from improperly acquiring, disclosing, or using confidential information from clients, partners, suppliers, or any other entities. In our collaborations, we safeguard partner interests through compliance reviews, non-disclosure agreements, and compliance training, while promoting fair competition. Moving forward, we will further strengthen our intellectual property and trade secret protection mechanisms to support the high-quality development of the new energy industry.
