The Value of Intellectual Property
Intellectual capital is recognized as
the most important asset of many
of the world’s largest and most powerful companies; it is the
foundation for the market dominance and continuing profitability of
leading corporations. NgEK has developed a significant portfolio of IP
around the implementation of the digitally controlled powertrain.
Below are listed many of those patents, copyrights, and other
intellectual capital. |
