Mitigating the increasing effects of climate change requires extreme policy measures such as reducing global carbon dioxide emissions, expensive abatement policies and the immense costs associated with developing green technologies. While literature on environmental-innovation has been focusing on how innovation contributes to alleviating climate-change impacts by examining existing mitigation technologies...
There has been a good deal of studies investigating technology life cycle by measuring patent activity indicators, especially patent applications. As for four main stages of technology life cycle, there is consensus on the interpretation of technology evolution depicted as a S-shaped curve. For measuring market value of a patent, there have been a lot of empirical studies that test patent indicators...
This paper is to disclose NPEs' patent portfolios internationally. The operation of NPEs has aroused impacts on society, and its patents have been considered as valuable patents, which are more valuable than ITC patents and litigated patents. The value of NPE patents is not occasionally. Hence, this paper uses application & publication of nations, and NPE patents applied under PCT procedures,...
To increase the effectiveness of national innovation system, the linkage between university and industry, as the two important stakeholders, should be enhanced to motivate national level innovation. The objective of this study is to exam the linkage between university and industry by the use of patent citation. The dynamics of influences from university to industry or from industry to university are...
It is well understood that Inter-industry knowledge diffusion has become very significant in knowledge society where innovation based on interdisciplinary is always encouraged. To understand how significant inter-industry knowledge diffusion is, this study classify USPTO patents granted between 1976 to 2013 into five industries, i.e. Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instruments...
This study attempts to invest evolution technological development and competitive situation of mobile telecommunication industry by the use of patent analysis from the perspective of dynamic competitive. The four-step framework of dynamic competitive theory proposed by Chen in 2008 is adapted to investigate dynamic evolution of eight firms in mobile telecommunication industry, i.e. Apple, Samsung,...
Since 1997, M Inc. faced litigations against non-contracted and contracted farmers about the issues of IP infringement and contract breach. M Inc.'s IP strategies include licensing, royalties, violation reports, investigations, settlement agreement and lawsuits. Organic farmer associations (OSGATA) sued M Inc. for IP invalidity because of misuse, double patenting and IP unenforceability since 2011...
Patent valuation has been an important research topic in a globalized knowledge economy where intangible assets and internationalization plays crucial roles. The objective of this study is to understand how the two factors, which are 1) intangible assets: patenting activities and R&D investment, 2) tangible goods: international import and export, influence patent value. More specifically, several...
Interdisciplinarity in technology has been usually investigated by analyzing knowledge flow among different research field or industry. However, very limited researches have comparing the innovation capability and evaluated the influence of knowledge among different knowledge owner. This research aims to first find the inventor position of first assignee types, and second understands knowledge flow...
This paper aims to evaluate the values of cross-country patent by analyzing characteristics of patent inventions based on international collaboration, and unveil how degree of internationalization and patent characteristics can be correlated to each other. To obtain the objective of this study, a total of 4,667,855 USPTO utility patents, comprising 457,309 Inventor-Assignee international patents,...
Due to the constantly changing nature of our society, the ability to make correct decisions is crucial for decision-makers. Understanding science-technology linkages and knowledge flows are of critical importance for decision-makers. A recent surge of research on patent has given us new opportunities and challenges; and there are many advances that have been made in the area of patent analysis. Therefore,...
This study aims to analyze patent portfolio of three-dimensional printing industry, future trends, as well as to explore how patent strategy could be developed. A total of 1089 patents that belong to 3D printing technologies are retrieved from the United State Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent database for analysis. There are two objects in this research: first, from the patent perspective...
The operation of non-practicing entities (NPEs) has been denounced, the influences of NPEs are more and more significant on the economy, society and technology. The objective of this paper is to characterize patents owned by selected famous NPE corporations. A total of 12 NPEs with 4,947 utility patents are analyzed in this paper from four aspects: (1) country, (2) industry, (3) corporates, and (4)...
This paper investigates if technology portfolio and patent litigation probability affect firms' short and long-term performances, which in past literature have mostly been associated with economic indicators or financial models. The patent data used in this paper are downloaded from the USPTO patent database and patent litigation probabilities are obtained from previous study. To measure firm performance,...
This study aims to analyze semiconductor patents in following dimensions: characterizing patent, forecasting future trends, uncovering key patent, as well as proposing patent strategies for the development of semiconductor industry. In addition, this research studies investigate of patents, in 1) national, 2) industrial and 3) organizational levels, through social network analysis, two-dimensional...
There has been a rapid change in innovation technological development since the past several decades. Understanding technological development trends, keeping advanced technologies, and acquiring the most inimitable and appropriate technologies are pivotal elements for a country or an organization to maintain its technological innovation competitiveness, but it is rather difficult to evaluate such...
Protecting innovation is an important issue for sustaining economic growth, intellectual property for defining innovation is therefore becoming an emerging research topic. Patent as a type of intellectual property plays importantly in protecting innovation can possibly be used for predicting infringement probability if conventional intellectual property service can be extended innovatively. This study...
In recent years, there has been a dramatic proliferation of research concerned with the technological Service System. Industry develops new technologies and uses innovative technology to improve products and processes. Technological service systems improve service processes or develop new business models using innovative technology. To understand the development of service system technology, patent...
This study proposes an integrated trend analysis methodology by applying bibliometric analysis and text mining on both scientific paper and patent database. The bibliometric analysis is investigated in four different dimensions: publication growth, country/region, organization, classification. However, the text mining is obtained by keyword analysis for different time periods and research field maps...
This study aims to obtain global overview on electrical conducting polymer nanocomposite development along time horizon as well as to obtain dynamic and quantitative exploration on technology evolution mechanism, a total of 1421 electrical conducting polymer related nanocomposite patents are retrieved from USPTO patent database and patent citation network is generated by combing both patent citation...
