Purpose Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a core technology, leading the 4th industrial revolution. This study aims to diagnose the Korean's national competitiveness for AI technologies through patent analyses. Design/methodology/approach In this study, KIWEE and Derwent Innovation databases were used as data source of patents. we extracted 10,510 AI patents data with keywords and classified them into 15 subcategories of AI technology. We executed patent analyses for activity index, patent intensity index, technology strength, and patent family size and diagnosed Korea's national competitiveness in AI industry. Findings The results showed that Korea is less competitive than the United States and Japan in AI industry. However, patent amount has increased since 2010, which is encouraging result. This study has implication on the need for human and R&D investment in AI industry.

A patent contains detailed information of the developed technology and is published to the public. Thus, patents can be used to overcome the limitations of traditional technology trend research and prediction techniques. Recently, due to the advantages of patented analytical methodology, IP R&D is carried out worldwide. The patent is big data and has a huge amount, various domains, and structured and unstructured data characteristics. For this reason, there are many difficulties in collecting and researching patent information. Patent research generally writes the Search formula to collect patent documents from DB. The collected patent documents contain some noise patents that are irrelevant to the purpose of analysis, so they are removed. However, eliminating noise patents is a manual task of reading and classifying technology, which is time consuming and expensive. In this study, we propose a model that automatically classifies The Noise patent for efficient patent information research. The proposed method performs Patent Embedding using Word2Vec and generates Noise seed label. In addition, noise patent classification is performed using the Random forest. The experimental data is published and registered with the USPTO among the patents related to Ocean Surveillance & Tracking Network technology. As a result of experimenting with the proposed model, it showed 73% accuracy with the label actually given by experts.

If we want to overcome the current IMF-guarded economic situations as early as possible and to change the present industry structure to the new knowledge-based structure, it is a great necessity to increase the capability of technology innovation as a key factor of the international competitiveness, and to establish the infrastructure of venture business for increasing utilization of technologly and patent. Even though there has been a great increase in application and enrollment of the Industrial Property Rights (i.e. IPRs) including patent recently, the number of unused IPRs are increasing progressively every year (for example, the ratio of unused patent is about 60% in 1997), and illegal use of patent and dependance on the foreign patent are increasing sharply. This paper will suggest policy on nurturing venture business for increasing utilization of the unused IPRs, including technology transaction strategy and link strategy of the high-tech industries between metro Taejon and Chungcheong Area.

In foreign countries, high-efficiency electric machineries have been developed in view of cost reduction, environmental issues, energy conservation etc. Especially they focus on developing energy conservation measures and demand-side management. Thus, patent application and secure of patent claims are on the rise as important issues in this field. In this paper, we analyzed patent application trends about inverters, ac/dc converters, reactive power control equipments, high-efficiency transformers and electric ballasts among high-efficiency electric machineries. First, we analyzed general technology trends, and constructed patent technology data. Second, we graphed patent application trends in terms of application years, assignees and nations.

특허 등의 지식재산권이 기업 경쟁력에 미치는 영향이 커지고 있다는 사실에 비추어 볼 때에, 유형자산과 마찬가지로 기업이 소유하고 있는 지식재산인 특허권의 합리적인 가치평가가 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 특허가치의 정확한 평가는 기술거래시장의 활성화를 가져올 수 있고, 기술담보를 통한 자금력 확보와 더불어 기업의 가치를 제고할 수 있어 특허전략 수립에 필수적이기 때문이다. 그러나 특허권이 얼마만큼의 가치를 가지는가에 대해서는 관심이 크지 않다는 것이 현실이며, 이유는 특허권에 영향을 미치는 변수가 너무 많고 그 속성 또한 다양하며, 가치를 평가하는 방법 또한 일반화되어 있지 않기 때문이다. 그래서 중소기업의 특허경영을 위한 특허가치평가에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 문헌연구를 통해 중소기업의 특허경영을 위해 특허가치평가들을 살펴보았고, 전문가들을 대상으로 특허가치평가 요인들을 찾아내어 이들을 체계적으로 정리하여 중소기업의 특허경영을 위한 특허가치평가에 중요한 요인들을 분석하여, 특허가치평가에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 찾아보았다. 최종적으로 나타난 중요한 요인 10개는 기술의 사업화 가능성, 시장경쟁력, 기술의 상업화 가능성, 시장규모, 보유기술의 독창성, 권리의 안정성(무효화 가능성), 기술의 수준, 기술경쟁력, 기술의 파급효과, 기술의 성격(원천기술/응용기술)으로 나타났다.

As the safety fields are expanding to a variety of industrial fields, safety technology has been developed by convergence between industrial safety fields such as mechanics, ergonomics, electronics, chemistry, construction, and information science. As the technology convergence is facilitating recently advanced safety technology, it is important to explore the trends of safety technology for understanding which industrial technologies have been integrated thus far. For studying the trends of technology, the patent is considered one of the useful sources that has provided the ample information of new technology. The patent has been also used to identify the patterns of technology convergence through various quantitative methods. In this respect, this study aims to identify the convergence patterns and fields of safety technology using association rule mining(ARM)-based patent co-classification(co-class) analysis. The patent co-class data is especially useful for constructing convergence network between technological fields. Through linkages between technological fields, the core and hub classes of convergence network are explored to provide insight into the fields of safety technology. As the representative method for analyzing patent co-class network, the ARM is used to find the likelihood of co-occurrence of patent classes and the ARM network is presented to visualize the convergence network of safety technology. As a result, we find three major convergence fields of safety technology: working safety, medical safety, and vehicle safety.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the patenting activities related to the fields of AI is increasing worldwide. In particular, a share of patent filed in China has exploded in recent years and overtakes the numbers in the US. In the present study, we focus our attention on the patenting activity of China and the US. We analyzed 6,281 and 13,664 patent applications in the US and China respectively between 2008 and 2018, and belonging to the "G06F(Electric Digital Data Processing)", "G06N(Computer Systems Based on Specific Computational Models)", "H04L(Transmission of Digital Information)" and nine more relevant technological classes, as indicated by the International Patent Classification(IPC). Our analysis contributes to: first, the understanding of patent application trends from foreign countries filed in the US and China, 2) patent application status by applicants category such as companies, universities and individuals, 3) the development direction and forecasting vacant technology of AI according to main IPC code. Through the analysis of this paper, we can suggest some implications for patent research related to artificial intelligence in Korea. Plus, by analyzing the most recent patent data, we can provide important information for future artificial intelligence technology research.
