The purpose of this study was to analyze the college students' acceptance of PatentNOW, which was developed for effective proceeding of patent application education program. Results of this research as follow. First, perceived ease of use positively influenced perceived usefulness. Second, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use positively influenced attitude toward using and attitude toward using also positively influenced behavioral intention to use. Third, the level of prior knowledge about the patent system and experience of patent application possessed by the users of PatentNOW had a negative effect on the relationship between perceived ease of use and attitude toward using. These results suggested that the teaching method of utilizing PatentNOW should be differentiated according to the level of prior knowledge of the students in order to improve the quality of patent application education.

Patent strategy research has focused on the efficiency of licensing for investigation, analysis and utilization of application management, product and development task in finding patent idea, to establish patent strategy linked with management strategy and technology strategy. However, it is difficult to find the research on patent strategy that reflects an adaptive culture to enhance the internalization and performance of the established strategy. As a result, companies have been striving to imitate patent strategies of advanced companies that do not consider their industry and organizational culture. This study proposes a method of defining a firm 's patent strategy according to the competing value model that analyzes organizational culture as four frameworks. This study verifies the classification method through case studies, suggests a suitable patent strategy for the patent strategy type. This study has contributions in that discussing from a new point of view based on organizational culture theory and providing a IP strategic model with high practicality.

This paper empirically examines the effects of green technology patent on the financial performance of SMEs and venture specialized green enterprises. In particular, this paper is focused on analysing the financial performance difference by comparing the financial condition of 1st year before and 1st year after the application of green technology patent, and the one of 1st year before and 2nd year after it using sales, operating profit, net income, ratio of operating profit to net sales, and ratio of net profit to net sales. The statistical significances were accepted on sales after 1st and 2nd year, operating profit and ratio of net profit to net sales after 1st year, and ratio of operating profit to net sales after 2nd year. This paper proposes the vitalization of green consumption market, the reinforcement of green financial policy, the installation of financing windows, the improvement of unfair business conducts of large enterprises, and the reinforcement of win-win partnership between large enterpsises and SMEs as policy issues of Korean government in order to promote SMEs and venture specialized green enterprises.

For sustainable economic growth, the Korea government continues to increase its investment in R&D and at the same time, have reinforced the management of R&D outcomes and enlargement of its infrastructure for utilization. However, a strategic R&D planning that draws an outstanding outcomes is more important than the management of its post-outcomes. The purpose of this study is to propose an implication on the policy of R&D planning for obtaining a good R&D outcomes such as a high quality patent. We compared and analyzed the determinants of the patent quality in fuel cell and solar cell technology using the count data models. Estimated results showed that the determinants of the patent quality in technologies were different from each other. Therefore, having appropriate R&D planning strategies for all technologies was more effective than applying one same strategy for all because of technological differences, and based on the estimated results, we suggested the R&D planning strategy in fuel cell and solar cell technologies that could in result in high R&D outcomes.

In previous research, large companies were analyzed to focus on their past management performance and patent rights, but in this study we looked at the variability in future sales of small and medium-sized enterprises with patents through empirical analysis. We looked at how the quantitative and qualitative value of patent rights affect management performance of company. We used 'the number of patents' as the quantitative value of patents, 'the average score of patents' as the qualitative value of patents, and the average sales growth rate as the management performance of company. Through a discriminant analysis using the statistical program SPSS, both independent variables used in this study were significant for distinguishing between companies with an average growth in sales more than twice that of general small and medium-sized enterprises and those with less than twice the average sales growth rate. Therefore it is meaningful to provide stakeholders with an analysis framework on how sales will change in the future using the results of this study during guarantee or loan screening for small and medium-sized enterprises with patent rights.

In 97hu2200, the Supreme Court of Korea suggested five requirements to apply the doctrine of equivalents, i.e. identity of problem-solving principles, interchangeability, ease of interchangeability, exception of known arts and file-wrapper estoppel. There have been arguments on whether the standard of ease of interchangeability could be regarded as the same as the obviousness standard in deciding patentability. The side who thinks that they are different (hereinafter, the side of difference) considers that the standard of ease of interchangeability is narrower than the obviousness standard. This side criticizes the side who thinks that they are the same each other (hereinafter, the side of the same) on the reason that doctrine of equivalents can be overly expanded. On the other hand, 'the side of the same' argues that every accused invention having no inventive step from the perspective of the patented invention should be considered to infringe. 'The side of the same' points that if the standard of ease of interchangeability is considered as narrower than the obviousness standard, 'grey area' should exist where the patent law cannot work. The difference between the two side may cause contradictory results in the decision of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents. Because 'the side of difference' construes claims narrowly than 'the side of the same,' an accused invention in the grey area is not regarded to infringe. 'The side of the same,' however, considers the accused invention to fall into the scope of the patent under the doctrine of equivalents. This paper concludes that the standard of ease of interchangeability should be regarded as the same as the obviousness standard from the perspective of economics of innovation.

Korean government drives various programs to improve the performance of university-industry cooperation since 1998 such as BK 21(Brain Korea), NURI(New University for Regional Innovation), Connect Korea Program, and so on. We analyse the relationships between performance of university-industry cooperations and university competency factors(research competency and management competency) through multi-regression model, and propose policy implication. We used the basic data related to the performance of university-industry cooperation and university competency factors from Korean 61 universities. We set up some hypotheses and try to verify them with the method of multi-variable regression analysis including dependent variable(licensing fee, the number of technology transfers, the number of spin-offs) and independent variables(research competency, management competency). We, through this analysis, find both the research competency variables and management competency variables are significant to the performance of university-industry cooperation. Firstly, for licensing fee and the number of technology transfers, research competency variables such as the number of SCIE papers, the number of patent registration were significant, but management competency variables such as the scale of technology leasing organization, the number of specialist were not significant. Secondly, for the number of spin-offs management variables are significant, but research competency varialbles are not. These results imply that both the research competency and management competency of universities are the critical factors for the effective commercialization of university technology not only in United States but also in Korea. In the conclusion, we propose government drive university-industry cooperation policy to enhance the quality of research papers and patent as well as management capabilities of technology leasing organization.
