Abstract

In order to strengthen competitiveness of Korean companies in the intensifying global market, it is crucial to establish preemptive strategy for filing and securing overseas patent in connection with the company strategies. Therefore, this study conducted in-depth interviews with technology innovative companies such as bio-life, manufacturing industry, information and communication, and information service industries with overseas application experience. By analyzing overseas patent application strategy for selecting a patent application route and country, reducing costs, utilizing agents, and adjusting the timing of the examination request according to the internal and external environment of the company, the direction of establishing an overseas patent application strategy for companies considering the overseas market entry was suggested.

치열해지는 글로벌 시장에서 국내 기업들도 경쟁력 강화를 위해서는 기업의 경영전략과 연계된 선제적 해외 특허출원 및 확보 전략의 수립은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 해외출원 경험이 있는 바이오생명, 제조업, 정보통신업, 정보서비스업의 중견, 중소, 창업 기업의 기술 혁신형 기업을 대상으로 심층인터뷰를 수행하였다. 기업의 내·외부 환경에 따른 출원루트 선정, 출원국선정, 비용절감방안, 대리인활용, 심사청구 시기 조정에 대한 해외특허출원전략을 분석함으로써 해외시장진출을 고려하는 기업의 해외출원 전략수립의 방향성을 제시하였다.
