Research and Development Our business models leverage innovation and conduct research and development activities to develop new, and optimize existing, production technologies, as well as to develop commercially viable new products and applications.
Research and development expense was $72 million, $78 million and $119 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
We consider the amounts spent during each of the last three fiscal years on research and development activities to be sufficient to execute our current strategic initiatives.
Intellectual Property We attach importance to protecting our intellectual property, including safeguarding our confidential information and through our patents, trademarks and copyrights, in order to preserve our investment in research and development, manufacturing and marketing.
Patents may cover processes, equipment, products, intermediate products and product uses.
We also seek to register trademarks as a means of protecting the brand names of our Company and products.
Patents.
In most industrial countries, patent protection exists for new substances and formulations, as well as for certain unique applications and production processes.
However, we do business in regions of the world where intellectual property protection may be limited and difficult to enforce.
Confidential Information.
We maintain stringent information security policies and procedures wherever we do business.
Such information security policies and procedures include data encryption, controls over the disclosure and safekeeping of confidential information and trade secrets, as well as employee awareness training.
