Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial structure of the production of technological knowledge in the Korean photonics industry. Patent data were used as a proxy of knowledge production. The data were gathered by keywords among the registered patents which were applied from 1996 to 2007. The photonics industry patents registered at United States Patent Trademark Office(USPTO) show that Korea and Taiwan, as a latecomer, have rapidly increased. The photonics industry patents registered at Korean Intellectual Property Office(KIPO) were analyzed by type of application: single-applicant and co-applicant patents. The analysis of single-applicant patents shows that technological knowledge in the Korean photonics industry has been produced mainly in Seoul, Suwon, and Daejeon. The degree of spatial bias, however, has been slightly decreased during the study period. Above-mentioned regions are also main centers in the analysis of co-applicant patents, but the forms of inter-regional cluster and network are different over time. It is because agents participating in co-applicant patents are diverse and increased. Furthermore, it seems that policies, such as the improvement of the infrastructure of ICT, the promotion of the photonics industry and the industry-university-institute collaboration, are very influential.

본 연구는 국내 광산업 기술지식 창출의 공간구조를 살펴보는데 목적을 둔다. 지식창출의 대리지표로서 특허데이터를 활용하였으며, 키워드를 이용하여 1996${\sim}$2007년 사이에 출원된 광산업 등록특허를 대상으로 했다. 미국특허상표청에 등록된 광산업 특허는 한국이 대만과 더불어 광산업 분야의 후발주자로서 급속히 성장하고 있음을 보여주었다. 한국특허청에 등록된 광산업 특허는 단독특허와 공동특허로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 단독특허의 경우, 광산업 기술지식이 서울, 수원, 대전에 상당히 편중되어 창출되고 있지만 편중 정도는 점차 완화되고 있음을 보여주었다. 공동특허의 경우도 상기된 지역들이 대체로 중심적인 위치를 차지하지만, 지역 간 군집과 연결 양상은 시기별로 상이했다. 공동특허에 참여하는 주체가 다양해진데 기인하며 정보통신 인프라 개선, 광산업 육성, 산학 협력 촉진과 같은 정책적 영향이 주요했던 것으로 보인다.
