The company's subsidiaries have formulated relevant systems for intellectual property rights, including the "Interim Measures for the Patent Application Process and Rewards of CNMC Mining Hong Kong Holdings Limited", the "Interim Measures for the Legal Protection of Intellectual Property Rights of CNMC Luanshya Copper Co., Ltd." and the "Qianbi Measures for the Legal Protection of Intellectual Property Rights of Greek Copper Smelting Co., Ltd. (Trial)" etc. Each system lists the infringement of the company's intellectual property rights, the legal protection of patent rights, and stipulates the patent application process and reward standards, etc., in order to standardize the company's intellectual property work and comprehensively enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise.
For example, CNMC Africa Mining invests a large amount of scientific research funds every year, which involves the signing of a large number of scientific research contracts. In order to avoid intellectual property disputes, each scientific research contract will specify the ownership of intellectual property rights in detail.
