Abstract

Today, according to the increased importance of industry-university cooperation in the knowledge-based economy, support and the number of researches involved in industry-university cooperation has also steadily increased. But it is true that profits from the outcome of patents resulting from such cooperation, such as technology transfer and royalty fees, are lower than they are supposed to be, because of excessive patents applications, although some of them have little commercial potential. Therefore, this research aims to suggest a way to analyze and recognize patents, which enable efficient industry-university cooperation and technology transfer. For the analysis, data on 1,061 patents was collected from 4 different universities. With the data, a quality-strategy matrix was arranged targeting the industry-university cooperation foundations', US patents owned by universities, text mining, and social network analysis were carried out, particularly focusing on the patents in the advanced quality technology section of the matrix. Then core key words and IPC codes were obtained and key patents were analyzed by universities. As a result of the analysis, it was found that 4 key patents, 2 key IPC codes were drawn for University H, 4 key patents, 2 key IPC codes for University K, 6 key patents, 1 key IPC code for University Y, 14 key patents, and 2 key IPC codes for University S. This research is expected to have a great significance in contributing to the invigoration of industry-university cooperation based on the analysis result on patents and IPC codes, which enable efficient industry-university cooperation and technology transfer.

지식기반 경제에서 산학협력의 중요성이 커짐에 따라 산학협력에 대한 지원과 연구들이 증가함에도 불구하고 산학협력의 특허 성과인 기술이전 및 기술료 수입은 낮은 편인데, 그 이유는 사업화 가치가 없는 특허들을 과도하게 출원하였기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산학협력 및 기술이전이 가능한 특허를 분석하는 방법을 제안한다. 분석을 위한 특허데이터는 WIPSON을 통하여 4개 대학, 1,061개 특허정보를 수집하여 분석에 활용하였다. 분석 방법은 대학이 보유한 산학협력단의 미국 특허를 대상으로 Quality-Strategy Matrix를 작성하고, Matrix의 Advanced Quality Technology 영역의 특허를 대상으로 텍스트마이닝과 사회네트워크 분석을 실시한 뒤, 핵심 키워드와 IPC 코드를 도출하여 대학별 핵심특허를 분석하였다. 분석결과, H 대학은 4개의 핵심특허와 2개의 핵심 IPC 코드를 도출하였으며, K 대학의 경우 4개의 핵심특허와 2개의 핵심 IPC 코드, Y 대학의 경우 6개의 핵심특허와 1개의 핵심 IPC 코드, 마지막으로 S 대학의 경우 14개의 핵심특허와 2개의 핵심 IPC 코드를 각각 도출하였다. 본 연구는 산학협력 및 기술이전이 가능한 특허와 IPC 코드를 분석하여 대학의 산학협력의 활성화에 기여하는데 그 의의가 있다.
