Rapidly increasing competition of technological revolution drive all participants in the market to pay attention to the prospect of New and Emerging Science & Technologies (NESTs), which are newly invented, fast changing and developing, and have relatively limited applications in the marketplace. Therefore, a systematic method to evaluate the commercial potential of these NESTs is essential for...
Digital platform leaders need to continuously innovate the platform core to drive the technological trajectory of the overall architecture and business system, of which the platform is a core element. This papers analyses the potential of and challenges to completing this task through the acquisition and integration of companies presenting innovative technologies of relevance to the platform core...
We monitor the trend of gamification in international patent documents. Being widely discussed in technology related fields, no prior study analyzed how this concept is actually represented in patents. Using the databases from EPO and USTPO we identified 76 distinct patent documents relating to gamification. Currently 30 of these patent documents are granted. We find that there is a rising number...
Dynamic capabilities, as vehicles to cope with environmental changes, have become extremely popular due to constantly high environmental turbulence. There exist wide variety of capabilities, two most popular ones in globalized and fast changing world are R&D and export. From exploration-exploitation perspective of company, both capabilities have explorative tendencies, interdependent to each-other...
Based on a sample of 1,684 manufacturing companies from the Taiwanese Technological Innovation Survey for the period from 2004-2006, the paper examines the relationship between different types of domestic and foreign based collaborative partners and different levels of product innovation radicalness. A complex network of relationships emerges where the level of innovation radicalness is associated...
Design automation (DA) research has for over fifty years been performed in academia, semiconductor and system companies, and EDA companies worldwide. This research has been enabling to continued scaling of design productivity and growth of the semiconductor industry. For product companies, funding program managers and individual researchers alike, a highly relevant question is: what DA research, and...
Patent data has been used for generating patent-based indicators for tracking the technology development of high-tech companies. In this paper, we further show the promises of exploiting patent data for the analysis and prospecting of high-tech companies in the stock market. Specifically, we aim at investigating the relationship between the patent activities of high-tech companies and the dynamics...
The European Patent Office (EPO) supports innovation, competitiveness and economic growth across Europe through a commitment to high quality and efficient services delivered under the European Patent Convention (EPC). The EPO provides protection for an invention in up to 40 European countries on the basis of a single application. In the states for which it is granted, a European patent has the same...
The complexity technologies require that companies have in-depth knowledge of the nature and effect of knowledge - its depth and breadth. Companies need to master expanding technological knowledge bases creating tensions for MOT. We examine how big data in patent landscaping creates insights into MOT. Using big data to manage Competitive Technical Intelligence, companies can foster new forms of adaptive...
Energy saving and carbon reduction issues have become the key theme in green studies nowadays. Battery is a core power of electric vehicle. Due to the development of battery technology from a single function changed to multiple-function that provides a main power for electronic vehicle which was called smart battery. This study aim on through Open Innovation (OI) to explore the relationship between...
The enactment of intrastate crowdfunding exemptions around the United States has built up a lot of excitement. Crowdfunding became a popular phenomenon in the past 15 years for art and design projects. Crowdfunding companies only allowed raising money by receiving donations or loans without giving funders any security interests in the project's company. This is because any potential economic return...
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,...
Currently academic researches' focus started changing towards protecting IP rights and to transferring them into industrial actors. Accordingly, it is argued that academic's basic research focus started shifting towards applied research as it is essential for the radical inventions to be introduced in a competitive market. This research seeks to understand industry-academia linkages in a high tech...
This study analyzes the Fuzzy Front End (FFE) management process of a multinational company of high-tech services. We evaluate the adherence of the enablers reported in the literature of FFE management in this company's innovation process. We choose, from literature, a framework of FFE's management in order to guide the interviews with managers. The interviews provide information could be possible...
This research focuses on the use of design thinking and patent information as the basis for a set of operation processes. These will investigate how enterprises can find new business opportunities based on the demands of the market through patent deployment and technology road-mapping, starting with the establishment of a top management team and an industrial development model to proposing strategic...
In today's increasingly global and knowledge-based economy, innovation is a key factor for organizations' competitiveness and growth. Even when different lines of action for innovation can be taken, firms have increasingly sought to create greater value through technological innovation. Central to the subject of technological innovation, is the definition of the areas or topics where technological...
Although more knowledge might be better for a firm, not all technological knowledge can create and realize economic value. Firms must commercialize their knowledge or resources. Based on panel data of Bio-Pharm industry from 1987 to 2008 by combining USPTO Patent Assignment, NEBR, SDC, and Compustat database, 96 US-based technology public firms comprised the empirical base for testing the moderating...
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...
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,...
Fundamental R&D development needs public support. Now Japanese government is focusing on financial support for top researchers to promote their research. Our research is trying to reveal how these kind of financial support works for them from quantitative and qualitative perspective. Especially “Funding Program for World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology” (FIRST Program) is...
