Trek 2000 International
Trek 2000 International is a Singaporean company, and was established in 1989. They have become a technology industry leader, who provide "state-of-the-art design solutions ranging from Mobile Media Solutions, Wireless, Anti-piracy, Compression and Encryption to sophisticated Enterprise Solutions" that all cater to the fast changing digital industry that is in today's age. Trek 2000 International also has various trademarks. Trek® and ThumbDrive® are both trademarks that the company has registered, and they have been licensed in Singapore, the United States, China, India, and various other countries. Along with its trademarks, Trek built up a sizable patent portfolio. The company was granted nearly 300 patents in the nations it targeted in 2002 for its ThumbDrive® USB Flash drive solution. These patents cover technology solutions related to wireless, USB, anti-piracy, compression, security, and centralized management systems. Trek, being a publicly traded company, has implemented a practical intellectual property strategy to guarantee that its patents generate extra profits for the corporation.
“One of our key patent strategies is to ensure that the patent is commercially viable and this is done before we even embark on filing the patent. After all, there is no point in spending the resources to patent a technology, if it cannot be sold. There is also no point patenting something just for the patent’s sake. Once the green light is given, we then bring in our patent attorneys,” said Mr Henn Tan, Chief Executive Officer of Trek. Sourced from Intellectual Property Office of Singapore - Web archive.org
Why the Flash Drive is Important to the World
The USB flash drive is a key invention in contemporary computing, providing small-sized storage possibilities that have entirely transformed how we access, save, and even transport data. Its convenience and adaptability allows for people and companies to easily carry large amounts of information in their pockets, which is why it is so important and useful. USB flash drives are becoming a necessary tool in many areas of life, such as education, business, and personal computing, because they make file transfers between devices simple, and they may even be used as a portable backup solution. Its influence goes beyond practicality; in a world growing more interconnected by the day, it makes effective data sharing, teamwork, and mobility possible. Especially back in the 2000's, when cloud services were not around. Additionally, the USB flash drive has been significant in closing the technological divide by offering accessible storage options to areas with poor internet access. In general, the relevance of this technology rests in its capacity to provide users with effective data management tools, hence promoting worldwide productivity, creativity, and connectedness.
