Innovation
Management
Gamania has always aimed to meet the living needs of consumers. Through the interconnection and integration of various business groups, we have created a comprehensive innovation management system. In terms of RD strategies, Gamania has worked towards the vision of “strengthening the Group’s IP ecosystem and continuing to grow the all-round entertainment ecosystem” by developing our own IP, performing panentertainment content deployment, building a social platform that best aligns with the attitude and culture of the new generation, continuously investing in the development of mobile games and apps, and competing in the cloud and information security markets. In 2023, the RD expenditure was NTD 653 million, showing an increase by 34.6% compared to the previous year. A total of 86 patents were approved and announced in Taiwan. In the future, we will continue to introduce new AI technology and make full use of the advantages of resources and data of each business group to achieve comprehensive and in-depth applications in daily life, change user experience, innovate the Group’s capacity, and unleash the Group’s synergy to build a comprehensive Eco-Internet Enterprise, thereby laying a foundation for sustainable growth.
The original creation capacity in Taiwan is considerable, but the development thereof has been hindered by a lack of resources.
In response to the market trend, Gamania announced at the end of 2023 that it would launch three major projects in the coming year,
with targets such as a growth of more than 60% in the number of original works, more than 10 million views on the platform, etc.
Gamania will focus on three aspects—cross-sector development, recruitment, and talent training enhancement—and enter the overall Asian market, to further drive the Group’s ecosystem flow and business and contribute to the overall operation of Gamania.
Cross-sector projects will be launched to create upgraded entertainment experience for users. For example, based on the collaboration with cross-sector partners, the original work under the Company’s platform, "Three Unmarried Women," will be made into physical books and adapted into a stage play; more further applications based on the story will be launched as surprises for the fans.
Manga Star and Literature Star (MOJOIN) both provide a "creator platform" for creators to submit their works. Creators may even be selected as the "rising star authors" or "official contracted authors" of the platforms. The "rising star authors" may take official training courses and receive guidance from well-known authors, and also submit proposals to become "official contracted authors."
Stable pay, subsidies for hiring assistants, continuing education plan, and more possibilities for cross-sector creation are provided for the officially contracted authors. We will also collaborate with film and television companies to develop training plans that combine courses and industrial practices for screenwriting talent needed in the fields of comic, novel, film and television. Moreover, we will work with the comic-related departments of universities to support the students’ transition to their careers by providing them with suggestions on creation and future directions.
Gamania aims to become an international network group with powerful high-tech advantages. With the strategy of diversified management adopted and the development blueprint that support the Group in the network technology industry as the direction, we focus on game operations, technology RD, and expansion of the scope of AI technology applications, hoping to provide more globalized network technology services through internal and external innovation.
Gamania is committed to RD and innovation, and invests RD resources in accordance with its operational objectives. It has developed the “Management Plan for Intellectual Property Rights” to reduce operating costs and risks while improving corporate profitability and achieving industry leadership. The Company regularly submits its Management Plan for Intellectual Property Rights to the Board of Directors every year; the latest submission date was November 6, 2023.
Continuously invest in technology research and development and patent layout for related services to maintain our leading position in the industry.
On the premise of connecting the Company’s operational objectives, we cooperated with the RD unit to search and analyze the fields of AI fraud detection, AI feature learning, electronic payment and NFT application, in order to grasp the industry’s technological development trends and layout status, carry out corresponding research and development and breakthroughs, and protect the deployment of key technologies by applying for patents.
Comprehensively protect the Company’s research and development achievements, strictly require notarization of patent and trademark applications and copyrights, and implement the Group’s intellectual property right policy.
