Patent attorney Um Jeong-han from BLT Patent Law Firm reviewed Hanwha Solutions' 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 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 statuses of listed companies through 'Teukgeup Yeolcha.'

'Teukgeup Yeolcha' is an abbreviation for a broadcast that diligently searches for rapidly rising stocks through patents.
