As a leading international brand, we also protect our trademarks and have a portfolio of more than 100 unique trademarks, both registered and unregistered. This includes pending marks in more than 40 countries. Our domain protection re昀氀ects similar intensity as we continue to expand internationally. We emphasize protection of our copyrights as well, where we restrict any use of Enphase copyrighted content without an express license granted by our intellectual property team. Falling between the discrete forms of intellectual property, we protect all our con昀椀dential information with con昀椀dentiality agreements, both with employees and external parties. All our R&D personnel have additionally entered into invention assignment agreements with the company, requiring employees to assign to us all the inventions, designs, and technologies they develop during their employment with us. While we expect others to respect our intellectual property, we similarly respect the rights of others, routinely evaluating relevant portfolios for freedom-to-operate, rigidly enforcing internal open-source consumption policies, observing Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) copyright takedown procedures, and ensuring that we are honoring others’ intellectual property rights. 82
