The Value of Intellectual Property

Intellectual capital is recognized as the most important asset of many of the world’s largest and most powerful companies; it is the foundation for the market dominance and continuing profitability of leading corporations.  NgEK has developed a significant portfolio of IP around the implementation of the digitally controlled powertrain.  Below are listed many of those patents, copyrights, and other intellectual capital.
