In today’s era of smart manufacturing and automation, industrial hardware such as autonomous vehicles (AGVs/AMRs) acts as the operational backbone of modern factories. Proactively establishing exclusive intellectual property (IP) rights over proprietary hardware designs is a vital move to secure a technological monopoly and defend corporate market share.
SBLAW is proud to act as the accredited Intellectual Property Agent that successfully advised and prosecuted the Industrial Design Patent for “Autonomous Vehicle” (Xe Tự Hành) on behalf of TNG Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company.
