During the past decades, it has been gradually recognised that science, technology and innovation (STI) can provide solution to macro level science and technology (S&T) problems. To foster STI that enables socioeconomic growth, it is widely regarded as necessary means to build institutional capacity for optimising governance of STI. Therefore, many countries seek to integrate STI policies as part...
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,...
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...
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,...
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...
Nanotechnology, which is a cross-border technology transforming the worldpsilas economy, plays a crucial role in recent science and technology developments. Japan and Taiwan which have paid a lot of attention on material research and development, together with the emerging mainland China, have been the three key players in nanotechnology and material developments in east Asia. This study is to compare...
