Innovation is fundamental to how we develop solutions that help our customers improve safety, productivity, sustainability and performance. This requires long-term investment in research and development, testing, engineering expertise and deep application knowledge.
Protecting the intellectual property behind these developments is an important part of safeguarding that investment and the value it creates for our customers. It also supports fair competition and helps ensure that original technologies and solutions can continue to be developed and brought to market.
Sandvik actively protects its intellectual property portfolio worldwide and takes appropriate action to defend its rights when necessary. We remain committed to investing in technology and engineering that help our customers operate more productively, safely and sustainably – today and in the future.”
