We examine whether the attributes of patented knowledge have any impact on its chances of commercialization. It has been hypothesized that the scope and cumulativeness of patented knowledge would positively affect the likelihood of its commercialization. The hypotheses were tested using patents data on the US biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. We found support for the prediction that the scope of patented knowledge increases the likelihood of commercialization, but we didn't find support for the cumulativeness aspect. These findings have important implications for firms that develop patentable knowledge, license-out patents, license-in patents from external sources, or debate about patenting strategy.

This study explores the effects of exports on the innovation of Korean firms listed on two Korean stock markets, the Korean Stock Exchange and the Korean Securities Dealers Quotations, between 1999 and 2016. By matching exporting firms to non-exporting ones with propensity score matching, this study accounts for a problem from sample selection bias that may arise from differences in firm-characteristics between the two groups. From the study results, first, both export participation and export volume significantly increase subsequent innovation performance, as measured by the number of patent applications. This result seems to support the "learning by exporting" hypothesis for Korean listed firms. Second, both export participation and export volume narrow innovation scope, proxied as the number of unique International Patent Classification (IPC) codes of the patent applied, the degree to which patents are concentrated in a particular class, and the degree of proximity in the patents. The findings of innovation scope suggest a possible explanation that the learning effect appears in familiar technology fields that firms have previously held, rather than in unfamiliar ones. Third, these results are robust using alternative proxies in the innovation scope, Tobit regressions to consider the non-trivial portion of sample firms with patent applications equal to zeros, and generalized method of moments (GMM) to control for the persistence of innovation measures hearing over years. Finally, the two main results are more pronounced in large firms than in small and medium-sized ones. As for Chaebol firms, however, these results do not appear.

Background: Medicinal plants are widely used in Asia. They have proven to be an invaluable asset in modern drug discovery and their demand has been steadily increasing across various industries. Methods and Results: Using 4,867 valid patents related to 12 oriental medicinal plants of 10 country groups, the growth and development potential of patents was evaluated. The cites per patent (CPP) and patent family size (PFS) indices were used to evaluate the market capability and technological level of the collected patents. Meanwhile, the patent impact index (PII) and technology strength (TS) were used to compare the technological competitiveness of patents among various technology types and markets. Both CPP and PFS indices showed that magnolia-vine and balloon flower have numerous core or original patents. Furthermore, an increase in both PII and TS indices was observed. A newly designed intellectual property multi-layer (IPM) model predicted that the medicine, genome and cosmetic categories have a high possibility of patent application growth. Conclusions: The IPM model can be used to provide the scope of particular technology fields for patent development. In addition, this study can assist patents to advance in the international market and guide the development of a national industrial strategy.

This study analyzed the trends of patents for unmanned technology used in agriculture. The target countries for this survey of patent data were Korea, the USA and Japan as well as the countries in Europe. The indices used in this study to analyze the patents were the CPP (Cites Per Patent), PII (Patent Impact Index), and PFS (Patent Family Size). The total effective patents for unmanned technology used in agriculture were 1,080 cases. The number of patents in the USA, Japan, Europe, and Korea were 541, 326, 128 and 85 cases, respectively. Among the total effective patents, the evaluation scores for selected important patents were calculated by applying commonly used weights to each index, and the top 10 patents were selected as important patents. The results showed that all the top ten patents are owned by the United States and that the United States is an advanced country in the field of unmanned technology used in agriculture. The evaluation score of the important patents using the existing method was biased toward the PII index among the three patent evaluation standards, and the effects of the number of claims and the PFS were relatively small. Therefore, a reliable patent analysis in the field of unmanned technology used in agriculture needs to reflect the overall evaluation factors taking into consideration the scope of the evaluation factors.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends of technique development of domestic textile industry and to guide the directions for researches to secure competitiveness of textile industry by analyzing domestic patent applications. This research used patent literature from Korean Patent Information database provided by Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service(KIPRIS), and the patent search scope, based on the application year, was from 1980 to 2007. The number of patents by natives was lower than that of foreigners in 1980's, but from the mid 90's, that number grew larger than that of foreigners. Also the number of patents by natives have shown steadily increasing tendency. However, the number of foreigner's patent in D03, D04, D05 of class was higher than the number of patents by natives. The technical fields where the patent application ratio is high varied from one country to another. In Korea, D01F of subclass had the most number of patents, and D05B, D04B had the most number of patents in Japan and Germany.

Objectives : A dermal needle is one of the therapeutic method by stimulating or tapping on the certain points of skin. Recently, roller or stamp-needle have been applied to various diseases in combination with microneedle technology. In this study, we analyzed the trend of roller and stamp-needle in Korean patent. Methods : Electronic search for Korean patent of roller or stamp needle was performed in Korea Intellectual Property Right Information Service database to April, 2019. Results : Sixty seven patents (51, roller-needle; 15, stamp-needle; 1, both types of needle) met the inclusion criteria. According to patent details, 34 of 67 patents were skin stimulation, 14 patents were intended to increase the efficiency of drug delivery through skin stimulation, 16 patents combined skin stimulation with technologies such as electrode or high frequency, and three patents applied both electrode or high frequency stimulation, and drug application as well as physical skin stimulation. Each of these patents aims to increase the efficiency of the needle manufacturing process (n=24), to facilitate the use of tools or to increase the efficiency of the technology (n=61), or to increase the technical skill of the needle itself (n=23). Conclusions : This study confirms that technological advances were being made by combining various types of stimuli to dermal needle and there have been attempts to expand the scope of drug delivery in terms of application of dermal needle. In the future, more research and development is needed in order to apply the dermal needle to modern technology.

인체의 체형정보 중 신체 치수 측정기술은 줄자나 영상 분석을 이용한 체형 측정 방법들이 활용되고 있으나, 간편하면서도 측정 정확도나 재현성이 높은 방법에 대한 수요는 꾸준한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 신체 치수 측정기술과 관련한 국내외 특허 조사를 수행하여 관련 기술의 개발 동향을 파악하였다. WISDOMAIN DB를 이용하여 한국, 미국, 일본 및 유럽에 공개된 특허를 대상으로 검색하였으며, 대분류, 중분류 기술체계와 소분류의 기술범위를 정의하여 유효 특허를 도출하였다. 도출된 특허에 대해 연도별 특허 동향, 국가별 주요 출원인과 기술 분야 현황을 분석하였다. 신체 치수 측정기술 분야는 한국의 특허출원 비중이 높아 이 분야에서 한국이 특허 출원을 주도하는 것으로 나타났다. 센서형 측정기술 분야의 특허 출원 건수 자체가 많지는 않았지만, 측정 간편성 부분에 장점이 있으므로 관련 기술개발은 체성분 분석 관련 측정 정확도 향상에 기여가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

경제 구조의 기술 의존성이 강해져 국가핵심기술의 중요성은 더욱 대두되고 있다. 하지만 기술 자체적 특성으로 인해 연관 범위가 추상적이고 국가핵심기술 고유의 특성상 정보공개가 제한적이기 때문에 보호대상이 될 기술의 범위를 정하는 것에 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 국가핵심기술과 연관성이 높은 중요 기술을 판별하는 데에 최적화 된 문헌 종류와 분석 기법을 제안하였다. 디스플레이 분야 국가핵심기술 키워드로 수집한 네 개 문헌종류(뉴스, 논문, 보고서, 특허) 데이터에 빅데이터 분석의 텍스트 마이닝 분석기법인 TF-IDF와 LDA 토픽 모델링을 적용하는 파일럿 테스트를 진행하였다. 그 결과로 특허 데이터에 LDA 토픽 모델링을 적용한 결과가 국가핵심기술과 연관성이 높은 중요기술을 추출하였다. OLED, 마이크로LED를 포함하여 디스플레이 전후방산업에 관련된 중요 기술을 판별 할 수 있었으며 이 결과를 관계망으로 시각화하여 국가핵심기술과 연관된 중요 기술의 범위를 명확히 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기술이 가지는 연관범위의 모호성을 보다 명확히 하였으며, 국가핵심기술이 가지는 제한적인 정보공개 특성을 극복할 수 있다.
