Aton provides fintech security solutions and simple authentication services based on Secure Element technology. By utilizing security media such as USIM and Trustzone, fintech security solutions can separate critical information or algorithms from the general execution environment to deliver services. Since security media vary in service provision and development methods depending on the customer's smartphone and operating system version, development and maintenance costs are high.
Aton was the first in the world to commercially apply security media when it developed a certificate management service based on Trustzone in 2012.
To respond to the cyber threat environment, Aton continues research and development to provide advanced products. The 68 registered patents in cryptographic authentication held by Aton are the result of these efforts.
Patent attorney Um Jeong-han of BLT Patent Law Firm reviewed Aton'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 indicate the future direction of listed companies, making them one of the important indicators for assessing future corporate value. Some patent disclosures even act as direct triggers for stock price increases.
It is not easy for general investors to understand 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 of BLT Patent Law Firm, is reviewing the patent and trademark application status of listed companies through 'Teukgeup Yeolcha'.
'Teukgeup Yeolcha' is an abbreviation for a broadcast that diligently searches for stocks surging due to patents.
