Intellectual Property Rights SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT PLAN GOAL By 2022, an intellectual property protection hierarchy has been deployed with tiered protection of intellectual property data assets based on their classification within that hierarchy. 2021 PROGRESS We finished developing the processes and resources required to deploy the new Restricted Use Only and Restricted Internal Use Only designations for Lockheed Martin Proprietary Information. Our intellectual property sustainability management plan goal is focused on defining and implementing heightened categories of protection for critical types of Lockheed Martin Proprietary Information, which includes the new designations of Restricted Use Only and Restricted Internal Use Only. This increases our ability to protect intellectual property as a business asset throughout its lifecycle to maximize our competitive position. It also drives value in the following two key ways: •. Enhances data security and mitigates data spills: By implementing a process for identifying, protecting and controlling access to critical technology, we are reducing the possibility of inadvertent leaks or intentional disclosure. •. Creates a flexible, nuanced proposal approach: Enables us to move away from traditional proposals to better balance Lockheed Martin interests in protecting our critical technology while delivering needed information to our customers. Our two internal corporate policies, Protection of Sensitive Information and Intellectual Property , provide the foundation for this intellectual property effort. We have a cross-functional working group for managing heightened protection categories for Lockheed Martin Proprietary Information that led the development of the new designation system. The working group is focused on creation of processes, tools and training, integration of the designations into our current Sensitive Information Protection Tool and collaboration with business areas and Intellectual Property Review Boards for effective implementation. The Intellectual Property Review Boards at each business area and at Enterprise Operations review categories designated by Lockheed Martin-funded technology development programs and provide any needed support. Concerns that arise can be elevated to the Enterprise Intellectual Property Strategy Board, which is led by our technology and business development functions. Once fully established, we plan to conduct periodic internal reviews to revisit designated categories across all programs to ensure the information still qualifies for its specific designation or if updates are required. Looking to 2022, we plan to put the new designation system fully into practice across the company. With the first use cases we can determine best practices and make any needed refinements to better protect our intellectual property. DESIGNING NEW RESOURCES FOR SUCCESS To enable success of this intellectual property goal, our cross-functional working group designed a comprehensive set of resources that are utilized by programs at different stages within the process. These include an enhanced data protection playbook, a protection standard, a protection form, confidentiality agreements and training. The training has been deployed in our formal enterprise-wide training system and is a self-paced, virtual course designed to familiarize employees who may be handling sensitive information with the tools needed to protect our valuable intellectual property.
