Intellectual property protection
Intellectual property protection in the Recruit Group Code of Ethics
Our Code of Ethics spells out our responsibility to protect intellectual property, the basic principles of which are the protection of the IP of third parties and protection of our own IP.
7. Protecting Intellectual Property
Developing and protecting valuable intellectual property is key to the Group's success. We are careful to protect our own intellectual property and not to violate the intellectual property rights of other parties. We avoid actions that might damage the value of the Group's copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property. We do not use intellectual property that belongs to third parties without a proper license.
Based on the above, we encourage understanding of copyrights, trademark, patent rights, and industrial property rights.
