Property</strong> </span></div></div><p><span style="font-size: small;">Intellectual property (IP) protection is a critically important issue for our industry.&nbsp; Strong and effective IP protection is&nbsp;essential for SEMI member companies in all regions of the world.&nbsp; SEMI is actively working to provide educational opportunities for companies, to work with governments to strengthen IP enforcement, and to advocate on the industry’s behalf. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><u>Position Statement of SEMI International Board:</u></strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Global IP Protection.</strong>&nbsp; SEMI supports free, fair and open trade.&nbsp; This includes rigorous adherence to internationally recognized intellectual property laws.&nbsp; We support World Trade Organization (WTO) policies and urge all governments and companies to adhere to these commitments, including those in the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPs). </span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Governments. </strong>&nbsp;IP protection is in everyone’s best interests.&nbsp; Strong IP policies can benefit countries by helping to attract foreign investment and encouraging domestic companies to engage in innovation.&nbsp; SEMI urges governments to ensure that they have effective IP protection and enforcement policies.&nbsp; These measures should serve as a deterrent to IP violations and should include provisions for criminal prosecution, when appropriate.&nbsp; Prosecuting IP violations should not result in retaliation against the company making the claim. &nbsp;&nbsp;While many trading partners have sufficient IP protections, there clearly is a need for more effective enforcement<strong>.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Companies. </strong>&nbsp;All companies should take steps to avoid infringement of others’ intellectual property.&nbsp; This includes ensuring that purchases of new and used equipment, spare parts, etc. are legitimate and that no counterfeit items are purchased regardless of price.&nbsp; This also includes ensuring that sensitive information is respected and is not shared with other parties.&nbsp; These principles must be embraced by all levels within a company and not just the highest corporate levels. &nbsp;Companies benefit from IP protection through continued investment in innovation and promotion of a global culture that respects the IP associated with semiconductor devices and other products.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>SEMI Intellectual Property Information </strong></span></p><ul><li><span

working together to increase efficiencies, reduce backlogs and improve quality.&nbsp; This group's mission is "the elimination of unnecessary duplication of work between the Offices, enhancement of patent examination efficiency and quality, and guarantee of the stability of patent right."&nbsp; The offices have agreed to a work-sharing arrangement that should result in a significant increase in
