On December 15, 2022, it continued to pass the verification and was awarded a certificate.

In addition, MA-tek successfully passed the qualification review by the Industrial Development Bureau on May 4, 2022, and was selected as the government guidance target for the implementation of the "Intellectual Property Disclosure and Disclosure System" in 2022. After the implementation of this "Intellectual Property Disclosure and Disclosure System," a more complete documented application and evaluation process for intellectual property disclosure review will be established, effectively protecting all innovative research results and technological intellectual property of the company. At the same time, by regularly publishing the intellectual property report annually, more complete and sufficient intellectual property information can be provided to customers and investors. The 2023 version of the intellectual property report was published on December 28, 2023, allowing external stakeholders to clearly understand the company's latest R&D direction and intellectual property achievements.
