Since its establishment in 1975, “innovation” has been the cornerstone of Inventec. It is our firm belief that innovation is the best catalyst to create the company’s superior position, and that everyone in the organization must be innovative. As a result, Inventec’s patent strategy has achieved a clear and profitable synergy of increasing licensing and providing product differentiation.

Everyone is an inventor in Inventec. The patents are generated from the product development process as well as the daily operational process. “Innovation for Total Solution” has become Inventec’s core message, and the intellectual property protection strategy has become extensive and diversified. Inventec has successfully obtained the patents for mechanical, electrical circuit, application software, and industrial design, all of which are essential for PC, server, and software industry.

In the 1990’s, Inventec faced a market that was changing significantly and the company realized that its strategy must change as well. The average rate of new patent disclosures in 2005 exceeded 30 per month. Currently, Inventec holds approximately 2950 patents worldwide, and more than 100 patents are filed per month. Inventec ranked third for number of filed patents and sixth for number of granted patents in 2005 according to the Intellectual Property Office, Ministry of Economic Office, Taiwan. In the 2005 Business Week survey entitled “The 100 Top Companies Patent Scorecard”, Inventec topped other Taiwanese computer system companies in the measurement of a company’s Essential Technology Strength (ETS). The relentless drive for creativity and innovation has enabled Inventec to pursue many new markets.

Our technical competency, our persistence in the highest quality, and our ability to deliver have consistently made us one of the top ten companies in Taiwan. Inventec will continue to strengthen its patent portfolio and pursue the highest quality in order to outperform its competitors in the future.
