Recently Korean universities show very rapid increases in both patents and R&D (research and development) expenditures. During the period from 1970 to 2008, university R&D spending has on the average increased 15.3% annually. Along with steady increases in R&D spending, university's research outputs have also continuously increased. In 1990 Korea as a total published 1,613 SCI-level scientific papers and Korean universities applied 27 patents to Korea patent office. In 2008, Korea published more that 35,000 SCI papers and Korean universities applied about 7,300 patents. The growth of scientific articles had begun from the early 1990s whereas the growth of patent has ignited entering the 2000s. The paper tried to investigate university research through the window of patent. Patents lie between invention and innovation and represent the potential value of invention which will be realized at the marketplace. Since Korean patents do not contain citation information, the paper used US patents-NBER patent database-as the main data. The key empirical question is whether Korean university patents granted from USPTO are characteristically different from other Korean patents granted from USPTO. Previous studies on US and Europe show that corporate patents are more stylized in appropriablity of invention, whereas university patents basicness. In case of Korea, the paper confirmed the appropriability characteristic of corporate patents; but the Korean unversity patents are not distinguishable in terms of basicness. The paper estimated the citation frequency function-an empirical model which was firstly developed by Caballero and Jaffe (1993) and later articulated by Jaffe and Trajtenberg (1996, 2002). The model is specified mainly composed of two interacting parts-diffusion effect and obsolescence effect of new ideas or innovations. Estimation results show that differences in forward citations between university and corporate patents are not statistically significant, after controlling self-citation. Since forward citations represent the quality of patents, this estimation result implies that there are no statistically significant quality differences between university and corporate patents. Prior research results, based on the same model of citation frequency function, about US and some European cases show that, in terms of forward citations, university patents are generally superior to corporate patents -for the case of US- or, the former not inferior to the latter-for the case of most of Europe. It is argued that some important and significant policy changes caused the rapid rise of university patents in Korea. Policy changes include the revision of technology transfer act allowing the ownership of publicly-funded research results to researchers and the changes in faculty/professor evaluation which gives more credit to the number of patents. These policy changes have triggered the rapid growth of the number of university patents. The results of the empirical analysis in this paper indicated that Korea now needs to make further efforts to enhance the quality of university patents, not just to produce more numbers of patents.

In this paper, we examine the relationship between information type and new product development process. Information that was provided for new product development can be divided into two categories. One was relative information that could be used as a basis for comparison such as patent data. The other was absolute information that must be fulfilled in the new product such as key customers requirements. An experiment was conducted with staffs in an R＆D department in order to analyze the impact of the different information types on the development process of new product. It was found that the group with the absolute information recognized the given information repeatedly, which in turn results in a highly technical idea with good teamwork. The group with the relative information created a superior product with better application, appearance and product efficiency through the frequent refinements of given ideas. This paper concludes with the implications of the results to the new product development process and supporting information systems.

특허 검색은 수많은 특허 문서 중에서 특정 해당분야의 문서 집합 내에서 검색을 수행하기 때문에 정확한 특허 분류에 크게 의존하게 된다. 이러한 특허 분류의 중요성에 덧붙여, 특허 문서의 수가 빠르게 증가하게 되면서 특허를 자동으로 분류하려는 요구가 더욱 필요하게 되었다. 특허문서는 일반문서와는 달리 구조화되어 있기 때문에 특허분류를 하기 위해서는 이러한 점이 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 k-NN 방법을 이용하여 일본어 특허 문서를 자동으로 분류하는 방법을 제안한다. 훈련집합으로부터 유사문서를 검색할 때, 구조화되어 있는 특허 문서의 특징을 이용한다. 문서 전체가 아닌 (기존 기술), (응용 분야), (해결하고자 하는 문제), (문제를 해결하려는 방법) 등의 세분화된 요소끼리 비교하여 유사성을 계산한다. 특허 문서에는 사용자가 정의한 많은 의미 요소가 있기 때문에 먼저 이들을 군집화한 후에 이용한다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법이 특허문서를 그대로 이용하는 것보다는 74%, 특허문서에 나타난 <요약>, <청구항>, <상세한 설명>의 큰 구조 정보를 이용하는 것보다는 4%의 성능 향상을 가져왔다.

This study determines whether or not firms can achieve high productivity growth through external technology acquisition. It also identifies the key factors affecting adopting firms' productivity growth by employing the Malmquist productivity index (MPI) methodology, which features computational ease, low data dependency, and decomposition of productivity growth into technical efficiency change and technical change. Results showed that the effects of productivity growth arising from technology transfer became stronger over time. Moreover, patent transfer guaranteed firms' productivity growth, but no evidence was found that factors such as age and size could increase productivity. Finally, cultural similarity could be another factor conditioning the effectiveness of technology transfer in the productivity of adopting firms.

This article focuses on the legal systems and practice of intellectual property protection in Japan and China, including the relating civil litigation and administrative litigation procedures. The challenge of balancing the relationship between an invalidation trial and an invalid defense during the process of civil patent infringement litigation is a common issue to be solved in both Japan and China. In addition, it is quite usual that the IP products are being imported and exported across the borders due to the expansion of international trade. Accordingly, one of the most symbolic and difficult issues is how to balance the development of international trade and IP protection in each country. In other words, there is a practical issue regarding whether a parallel import of patented products is acceptable to a country or not. The key to determining this issue depends on the judgment of international exhaustion.

자질 선택은 문서 분류와 같이 않은 자질을 사용하는 지도식 기계학습에 관한 연구에서 날로 중요성이 커지고 있다. 특히 특허문서 분류와 같은 작업은 기존의 문서 분류보다도 훨씬 많은 자질과 분류 범주를 가지기 때문에 전체 문서의 특징을 드러내는 적절한 부분집합을 선택해 학습하는 것이 절실하다. 전통적인 자질선택 방법은 필터라는 방법으로서 빠르지만 임계값을 정하기가 어렵다는 문제가 있다. 한편 최근에 많이 연구되는 래퍼는 일반적으로 필터보다. 좋은 성능을 보이지만 자질의 개수가 많을수록 시간이 오래 걸린다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 필터와 래퍼를 상호 보완적으로 결합하여 최적의 필터를 자동적으로 찾는 래퍼를 제안한다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법이 효과적으로 자질 집합을 선택하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which improves the performance of high-performance computing system. The key idea of this dynamic workload balancing strategy is to minimize execution time of each job and to maximize the system throughput by effectively using system resource such as CPU, memory. Also, this strategy dynamically allocates job by considering demanded memory size of executing job and workload status of each node. If an overload node occurs due to allocated job, the proposed scheme migrates job, executing in overload nodes, to another free nodes and reduces the waiting time and execution time of job by balancing workload of each node. Through simulation, we show that the proposed dynamic workload balancing strategy based on CPU, memory improves the performance of high-performance computing system compared to previous strategies.

The recent trend in technology development is characterized as technology convergence, mainly between IT, BT and NT and also more and more industries are starting to use several technologies simultaneously or in a combined way theses days. As a result, the needs on technology interaction analysis is increasing for strategic technology management and policy-making. Responding to the needs, this research deals with technology innovation process in terms of technology competition, particularly focusing on the 17 new growth drivers in 3 areas, which has been announced by the Korean government as a new growth vision for Korean economy, and analyzing their co-evolutionary process. For the analysis, patent data, a representative data on technology innovation, is adopted. Then, Lotka-Volterra Competition model, a model frequently used to describe the dynamism of competitive innovation is applied to the data. The research results are expected to support strategic decision-makings such as effect policy-making or R&D priority-setting, by analyzing the relationship between the 3 areas, the 17 new growth drivers, or the particular technologies in the drivers.
