The Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon) is a fruit native to northeast Asia that is cultivated in South Korea and China. Using 1,938 valid patents of 6 group countries, we analyzed the patent trend based on year, countries, applicants, and technology. The technologies are categorized the 10 sub-technologies such as medicine, quasi-drugs, food, feed, cosmetics, cultivation, genome, manufacture, preprocessing, and etc. The technology level and competitiveness are analyzed using patent index such as cites per patent, patent impact index, patent family size and technology strength. In Korea, patent number rapidly increasing and individual technical level is lower than other countries. However, overall technical competitiveness is estimated high due to multiple patents. We suggest that cosmetics and cultivation fields are most likely to be developed in future omiza technology development in Korea. Our study will provides to the information of technical trend to support performing of new projects for Omija plant.

Patent information, which is generated under a specific, objective rule for a prolonged period of time, has the properties of technology, right, and management. Because of these characteristics of patents, patent analysis is used to identify R&D capacities and performances, and management strategies of a given nation or enterprise. In this paper, we analyze LTE essential patents which are key IPRs for implementing standardized LTE technology and major weapons in a global patent war. Total of 2,307 LTE essential patents, published and registered applications from European Telecommunications Standards Institute(ETSI)'s online IPR database as of January 2011, are analyzed in quantitative methods. The analysis results present status and statistics of LTE essential patents by major countries, applicant companies and technical fields. And a comparative study is done using 4 patent indices limited to the LTE essential patents issued in the United States. It is expected that results herein are useful for not only figuring out the technological competitiveness of countries and companies in LTE market, but also suggesting a guide to strategic IPR management for related industries.

오늘날 에너지문제는 인류가 직면한 가장 중요한 당면과제 중 하나이다. 석유, 석탄과 같은 화석에너지는 점점 고갈되어 가고 있으며, 이산화탄소 배출로 인한 기후변화도 해결이 시급한 문제이다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 신재생에너지의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 특히 신재생에너지 기술 중 태양전지는 미국, 일본, 유럽, 중국 등 많은 국가에서 기술개발 및 보급에 앞장서고 있으며, 시장선점을 위한 기술개발 경쟁이 치열하다. 또한 연료전지의 경우 전기와 열을 동시에 생산 가능하며, 다른 에너지 변환기보다 훨씬 높은 효율을 가지고 있어 신에너지원으로서 주목받고 있다. 이와 함께 기후변화에 실질적인 해결책으로 세계는 CCS에 기대하고 있으며, 기술개발 및 실증을 위한 국제공동연구도 활발하게 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 중요성을 인식하여 태양전지, 연료전지 그리고 CCS에 대하여 국내외 에너지기술 활용도를 분석하였다. 활용도 분석을 위하여 특허등록건수, 특허의 피인용 정보와 이를 활용한 CPP지수를 산출하였다. 오늘날 특허는 국가나 기업 등 특정 주체에 대한 기술력 또는 혁신성을 측정하거나, 기술개발 동향을 파악하기 위한 중요한 정보로 사용된다. 특히 CPP지수(특허당 피인용지수)는 분석대상(국가, 기업 등)의 특허가 이후의 기술혁신 활동에 어느 정도의 활용되어 영향을 미쳤는가를 보여주는 지표로써, 특정 국가나 기업의 기술혁신 활동의 수준 및 혁신성과의 가치를 살펴 볼 수 있다. 이를 통하여 국내의 에너지기술 경쟁력을 살펴보고 시사점을 도출하였다. 우선 특허데이터 수집을 위하여 톰슨 이노베이션을 활용하여 2001년부터 2010년까지 미국, 일본, 유럽, 한국에 등록된 특허를 검색하였으며, 특허등록번호를 중심으로 중복데이터를 제거하였다. 또한 특허명칭, 요약정보를 통하여 노이즈를 제거하였다. 노이즈가 제거된 특허를 활용하여 기술별, 국가별 기술개발 동향을 살펴보았으며, CPP지수를 통하여 기술별, 국가별 활용도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 태양전지의 경우 대부분의 국가에서 특허건수가 매년 증가함에 따라, 지속적으로 기술경쟁이 심화되고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 한국의 CPP지수는 미국, 일본 등 주요 경쟁국가에 비해 상당히 낮게 나타나 기술 활용 수준이 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 핵심기술 개발과 같은 에너지기술의 질적수준을 높이기 위한 대책마련이 필요한 실정이다. 본 논문의 결과를 통하여 특허를 위한 기술개발이 아닌 보다 활용성이 높은 기술개발이 이루어지기를 바라며, 나아가 국가에너지기술 경쟁력을 높이는데 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

Nowadays it is more important to measure the technological impact of a concerned R&D technology on others, when deciding or selecting strategically, under the environment such as more complex, more uncertain and more costly. But there was very few of proper methods to measure quantitatively. So we studied on measuring the technological impact of one group of technologies on others, which means the flow of disembodied knowledge, using patent citation analysis. We reviewed the prior art of the measurement of technological impact, and designs the effective citation analysis method using patent information, analyzing the prior art of patent citation analysis method and ie index. Finally, we developed the disembodied knowledge flow matrix between technology groups, counting citation frequencies between them, using KISTI's US patent database(USPA) and the index to represent the technological impact to others using the developed matrix as well as the intrinsic nature of the technological groups clustering by network analysis. The results of this study is to present the insight of a technological impact on the others quantitatively and this study aims at using them to refer to R&D budgeting and decision making in case of R&D planning or to the basic information to understand technology conversion or fusion.

Utilizing the patent application data between 1997 and 2002, this study focuses on analysing the impact of patents on firm value. Especially we attempt to examine the difference of patents between venture firms and general firms. This paper first shows that the number of the patent applications of general firms listed on the securities market are more than those of venture firms listed on KOSDAQ. It is thought that this result is originated from facts that the size of firms of the securities market is usually bigger than the firms of KOSDAQ and that these large firms could manage R&D more efficiently. Second, this paper reports that there is no difference in the ratio of patent maintenance between venture firms and general firms. Both venture firms and non-venture firms would do their best to keep their patents after patent regisration. Third, in the regression of patent index and firm growth, we find that the excellence of patent and the number of patents per employee would have an impact on the growth of firms. Fourth, the regression of patent index and profitability shows that the excellence and the number of patents per employee might have an effect on the profitability of firms.

This paper proposes a method of using national R&D patents' CoIPC networks to identify interdisciplinary trends of technology areas related to Korean national R&D. While previous research analyzed interdisciplinarity of national R&D with simple bibliometric descriptions, this research uses the network-based indexes to analyze its interdisciplinarity from the viewpoints of interdisciplinary "diversity of coupling" and "strength of coupling". In this research, this proposed method was used to form a R&D CoIPC network from the Korean national R&D patents registered from 2007 to 2010. It is expected that the proposed method can be incorporated into a system for a national R&D trend analysis, and used to identify the issues of technology convergence in national R&D and formulate its related research policies.
