  • This study aims to establish an efficient future technology development strategy in the information and telecommunications industry by grasping related technology trends and fusion complexity through an analysis based on standard patents. Analyzing 1,983 patents related to the information and telecommunications industry identified the trends in major patent applicants and detailed technologies in the world. In addition, technology trends were investigated through keyword analysis to examine the degree of complexity in information and communications technology, confirming the direction of research in information technology. Electronic component and wireless communications fields have relatively few standard patents, but they are highly convergent with other industrial technologies. Computer information processes and communication and broadcasting technologies are highly related to each other, so they can be used as standard fusion technologies in standard patents. In addition, standardization activities in optical and image/sound devices are found to be high.

  • 소프트웨어를 특허로 받는 데는 근본적으로 인간의 논리적 사고로부터 비롯된 소프트웨어 혹은 컴퓨터 프로그램의 특성상 특허의 성립요건에 배치되어 많은 제약이 뒤따랐으나 점점 다양한 컴퓨터프로그램이 개발되고 이의 독창적 아이디어에 대한 권리보호 요구가 심화되면서 그 수용의 폭이 결국 크게 확대되는 단계에 이르게 되었다. 본 논고에서는 소프트웨어의 특허성에 대한 일반론을 소개하고, 어떻게 그 수용의 폭과 심사기준이 변천되어 왔는지 중요한 판례들을 통하여 분석하여 보고, 현재 주요국의 인정실태를 설명한다.

  • In the Korean litigation system, structural maldistribution of evidence still remains a conundrum. Numerous solutions have been discussed so far and, today, few people deny the need for adopting a system similar to the discovery procedure in the United States. In the intellectual property (IP) domain, a wide range of legislative attempts have been made to improve the litigation system, especially for patent litigation. However, the adoption of discovery in copyright litigation is seldom discussed, despite the fact that copyright infringement lawsuits increasingly involve highly technical issues, especially in case of copyrightable computer programs. The lack of discussion on discovery adoption forms a stark contrast with the active attempts to adapt and adopt discovery procedure for patent litigation. In copyright infringement lawsuits, especially for copyrighted computer programs, securing evidence takes on crucial importance. However, in reality, there are numerous obstacles. Some lawsuits proceed even without properly securing the infringed work. To address this issue, the current litigation system needs to be improved by adopting a procedure similar to discovery. This paper reviews what solutions are being utilized today, and how we should approach the issue.

  • Patent text is a rich source for discovering technological trends. In order to automate such a discovery process, we attempt to identify phrases corresponding to the problem and its solution method which together form a technology. Problem and solution phrases are identified by a SVM classifier using features based on a combination of a language modeling approach and linguistic clues. Based on the occurrence statistics of the phrases, we identify the time span of each problem and solution and finally generate a trend. Based on our experiment, we show that the proposed semantic phrase identification method is promising with its accuracy being 77% in R-precision. We also show that the unsupervised method for discovering technological trends is meaningful.

  • Securing the appropriability strategy of R&D funding for technology innovation is very important because R&D needs a lot of time and money. Appropriability means the environmental factors that govern an innovator's ability to capture profits generated by an innovation. Generally appropriability mechanism has five kinds, including patent, secrecy, lead time advantage, complementary sales & service, complementary manufacturing. In this paper, we surveyed domestic software industry professionals about appropriability mechanism strategy, and presented a result of priority of each factor and difference between previous research and this study, using the pair-wise comparison method. The result of study showed that domestic IT manufacturing companies prefer patent better than other appropriability mechanism.

  • The tactical data link is a military data network to improve the ability to recognize battlefield situations. The ROK military is promoting the tactical data link performance improvement programs. Tactical data link is essential to combine and integrate various platforms, sensor data, and command and control (C2) systems. Therefore, the research on related technical fields is required. However, the tactical data link has not disclosed detailed technical information due to the characteristics of military operation. In this paper, we propose a data-based automated analysis methodology using intellectual property information to understand the technology trend of tactical data link. In this paper, data related to intellectual property is automatically collected and pre-processed, and analyzed in terms of time series. In addition, the current status of each institution of patent technology information was generated, and the process of identifying key-researchers through network analysis was presented with providing results of our approach in this paper.

  • This paper analyzed technologies related to video and sound device manufacturing closely related to media images, divided applicants into companies, research institutes, universities, individuals and the public, and conducted technical statistical analysis, collective intelligence analysis, and open innovation analysis. It is necessary to express innovative ideas through technology in research institutes or universities, and efforts are needed to expand technologies in the media field in universities. Looking at the contents of patents actually filed, patents filed by companies or individuals were mostly related to media technology, and patents filed by universities and research institutes were mostly related to media content. This means that hardware technology patents should be developed extensively and in-depth in an inseparable relationship between media technology and content, and should be a driving force for software content to play a more diverse and creative role.
