[Express Train Episode 58] STI's Efforts in Technology Development and Cost Reduction Reflected in Performance

STI is developing semiconductor and display equipment. Starting with high-purity chemical supply systems (C.C.S.S.), it has expanded beyond semiconductor auxiliary equipment to enter the semiconductor process equipment market since 2013. The semiconductor packaging process equipment 'Lead-free Vacuum Reflow Equipment' developed by STI is a market currently monopolized by a U.S. company. This equipment, which embodies advanced technology, has been successfully localized through continuous research and development.

They have also developed industrial inkjet printers for ceramics and other materials based on inkjet printer technology, as well as 3D printers. STI's production lines are running busily due to equipment supply contracts signed with domestic and international semiconductor and display manufacturers.

Patent attorney Eom Jeong-han from BLT Patent Law Firm reviewed STI's 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 the 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 ordinary 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 statuses of listed companies through 'Express Train.'

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