Patent attorney Um Jeong-han from BLT Patent Law Firm reviewed Entels' patent and trademark application status.

Listed companies in the domestic stock market disclose patent acquisition facts 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 future corporate value, as they foreshadow the direction a listed company will take. Some patent disclosures even act as direct triggers for stock price increases.

It is not easy for general 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 Um Jeong-han from BLT Patent Law Firm, is reviewing the patent and trademark application status of listed companies through 'Teukgeup Yeolcha' (Express Train).

'Teukgeup Yeolcha' is an abbreviation for a broadcast that diligently searches for stocks soaring due to patents.
