Hyundai Mobis announced on the 26th that it held an in-house "Invention Day" event to encourage and spread the creative R&D culture of executives and employees. At the event held at the Mabuk Research Institute in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do on the 22nd, rewards were given to researchers and organizations who have achieved excellent invention performance over the past year. "Invention Day" is establishing itself as a representative research and development festival of Hyundai Mobis that shares research results and encourages innovation.
An official from Hyundai Mobis explained, "Of the 7,500 new patents secured over the past three years, about 40% are concentrated in key future mobility technologies." There are more than 3,000 patents in the fields of electricity, autonomous driving, and connectivity alone. This is where the company is focusing its entire capabilities to take the lead in the global market in the future car technology sector. Last year, more than 2,300 new patents were filed, and more than 1,000 patents were poured out in the field of future technology alone. Smart key technology for vehicles to prevent digital key hacking and technology for implementing high-definition head-up displays (HUD) are representative patents applied by Hyundai Mobis last year.
In the rapidly changing future car industry, patents are becoming a key asset that determines market leadership beyond technology protection. Accordingly, Hyundai Mobis is pursuing an intellectual property-based R&D strategy that goes beyond just technology development and leads to the rights and commercialization of patent ideas.
As part of this, Hyundai Mobis is operating a systematic patent invention system. It is closely supporting strategic patent applications by establishing a collaboration system between inventors, patent attorneys, and patent experts centered on patent-only organizations. Overseas research institutes such as North America, Europe, and India are focusing on securing global patents optimized for each regional market through local patent agents.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Mobis plans to expand its R&D investment to 2 trillion won this year, further accelerating its efforts to secure core technologies. Currently, the number of domestic and foreign R&D personnel is about 7,500, which has increased by more than 30% in the past five years. Hyundai Mobis plans to continue to focus on strengthening global patent competitiveness to secure original technologies for future mobility.
