Items this document does not state (10)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.To securely share and use confidential data between companies in materials development, improving the efficiency of material property prediction and product development. Because an NDA alone makes it difficult to balance the speed required at development sites with information protection, the aim was to protect data through technology.
