Each year KOMAG employees publish tens of articles in Polish and foreign magazines as well as in conference proceedings, presenting KOMAG achievements and their own scientific output.

Realizing, among others, informative and educational activity, KOMAG enables small and medium-sized enterprises to use its bibliographic materials and it also distributes information on quality, standardization as well as some data of scientific and technical character. In the case of innovative solutions it is very important to protect intellectual and industrial property rights.

The activities, connected with a protection of intellectual property rights, are carried out to meet KOMAG own needs and also the needs of our partners.
