Three pillars, one contract

Sustain

Local MRO capacity that keeps your contracts on track.

What Sustain covers
  • Repaired in Taiwan, ready when you need it

    Sites across the island, certified technicians and local spares mean repairs happen close to where your systems operate. Nothing ships back to the factory, so you skip the round-trip freight and export paperwork, and downtime is shorter. In Taiwan, high readiness is the reference that wins the next order.

  • Repairs without data leaks

    Your technical data is handled only by approved people, in approved spaces: segregated storage, logged access and visitor control, with an ISO 27001-certified capability partner. No parts of PRC origin or from red-supply‑chain sources.

  • Support for your ITAR compliance

    Repairing defense articles requires a US-approved TAA, which you file. TIS prepares everything on the Taiwan side: personnel lists and screening, facility and data controls, contract annexes. That means fewer rounds of documents for you. Until the TAA is approved, we don't touch a single defense article.

Protect

Lock in your technology lead before competitors can move into the gap.

How the retainer works
  • Decide what to protect first, based on Taiwan's demand

    We track Taiwan's tenders for you, obtain and translate the tender documents, and set out the specification and localisation requirements, so you know which of your technologies are most worth patenting in Taiwan first.

  • Before launch, see what you can patent and where the risk lies

    We check local patents and technology white space against a 180M-patent database. One review shows which of your technologies stand a chance of a patent and where you risk falling inside someone else's, with design‑around recommendations.

  • A Taiwan-first patent strategy

    Once your systems are fielded in Taiwan, they can be studied and copied. We close the gaps in your Taiwan patent coverage first, then plan for Japan, Korea, Singapore, Australia, India and Europe.

  • Checked at every step, from filing to office action

    From draft-quality review before filing to office-action strategy at 4 patent offices: Taiwan, the US, Japan and Korea. Our fee depends on whether your protection works, not on how many applications you file.

License

Make your patents earn, and secure the licences you need in Taiwan with us.

See licensing services
  • Make your Taiwan patents pay

    We license your Taiwan patents to local suppliers, integrators and operators, turning them into royalty income and negotiating leverage, and making local assembly and supply‑chain partnerships run more smoothly.

  • We find the patent owner and close the licence

    If a review finds your technology falls within someone else's patent, we find the owner, whether a research institute, a university or a local company, and negotiate the licence terms with you so your product can launch. Taiwan has no established patent-licensing intermediary, so we take this step for you.

  • Key patents secured early, so your entry carries less risk

    Patents on core UAV technologies in Taiwan can block your way into the market if a competitor holds them. TIS and Innovue file early in these fields to keep the technologies in friendly hands and lower your risk of entering Taiwan. Licences are available whether or not you use our MRO services.

Your Taiwan sustainment starts on day one, scales with your fleet and runs under one contract.

Why TIS

  • Faster start

    Skip 12 months of local set-up. When your systems arrive, someone is already there to take over repairs.

  • Lower cost

    No fixed capital expenditure. Maintenance fees scale with your fleet.

  • Less coordination

    One point of contact for the whole process, from customs clearance to warranty repair.
