A Patent Pool tends to be activated to establish the harmonization in recently standardization activities related to information and telecommunications with patent rights. Recent main examples of patent pool related to telecommunications standardization are concentrated in this paper. We seem to examine the practical meanings of patent pool from review the examples of utilizing patent pool. Those examples are analyzed and presented in this paper as typical construction cases of patent pool by characteristic of formation : The MPEG-2 patent pool which has become a pioneering precedence being managed by establishing MPEG LA as professional and administrative entity having organizied scalef; DVD patent pool which is a type of dividied case of a patent pool; the patent pool of IEEE1394 which was formed by surronding technology market effect outside the entrepreneur; finally the UMTS case in mobile telecommunications area.

As Shapiro and Varian argue the open approach generates bandwagon effects and facilitates the diffusion of a standard thanks to network externalities. However, the open approach is not linked automatically to economic benefits as suggested by some famous cases as the IBM PC history. On the contrary, the closed approach enables a tight control over a technology and its development, and insures the appropriation of economic benefits. As Shapiro and Varian suggest, a firm can also decide to mix an open approach with tight control over improvement or extentions. Patent pool is to offer fair, reasonable, nondiscriminatory access under a single license to patents that are essential for the use of standards-based or other platform technologies. patent pool offers only one license to everyone, Since each patent is essential, the royalty rate and thus the value is the same whether a licensee uses one or more patents.

In this paper, we discuss patent pool and a patent valuation scheme for fair royalty distribution among the patents in a pool. In the knowledge-based economy, intellectual capital-the accumulation of technology and know-how-is recognized as the most important source of company's competitive advantage and economic growth. By providing exclusive rights to patent holders, the patent system aims to encourage innovation-invention & commercialization of new technologies-in order to raise the standard of living. However, drawbacks of patent system, which occur as the number of patents issued increases rapidly and patent ownership is fragmented, may slow down the innovation efforts seriously. A promising solution is the patent pool approach, which was for instance employed by the U.S. congress during World War I to free the airplane manufacturers from the patent tangle by letting them license all the patents for a fee. It is necessary to figure out relative technological contribution of patent for fair distribution of royalty revenues among patent holders. The Rating/Ranking Method seems to fit to that valuation purpose. We examined technology valuation models from various organizations and selected a set of more influential valuation factors which can be incorporated as scoring criteria in the Rating/Ranking Method.

Our study focus on the investigations of the effect of IPRs, the relationship Digital TV with MPEG-2, and the MPEG LA stands. MPEG LA, which build up the strong patent pool, manage to IPRs system of MPEG-2. And we examine the influence of the effect for the. patent of Digital TV and IPRs based on MPEG LA Licensing agreement. Results of this study shows that to be valuable the IPRs of MPEG-2 related to Digital TV, Korea needs the strategies for effective IPRs negotiations and technical accumulation through offensive patent management, and so on.

정보기술분야의 국제 표준화 기구인 ISO/IEC JTC1에서 주도하여 추진하고 있는 MPEG 표준화가 성공적으로 진행되면서 이의 원활한 시장 적용을 위하여 복잡한 체계로 구성되어 있는 MPEG 기술표준과 연관된 다수의 특허권 처리를 위한 구체적인 조화 방안이 필요하게 되었다. 이는 또한 MPEG 기술의 특허권자가 많기 때문에 다자간의 협상이 요구되는 사안이었다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위하여 MPEG-2 표준의 경우 1990년대 초반부터 이 기술의 주요 개발 업체들간에 표준화의 추진과는 별개의 활동으로서 협의체를 구성하여 복잡한 특허권 관리를 위한 전문적인 기구의 설립을 검토하기 시작하였다. 이를 위한 기반으로 라이센싱의 일원화를 실현하는 특허 POOL을 구축하여 1996년 5월에 MPEG LA를 설립하기에 이르렀다. 이러한 MPEG LA는 공정경쟁에 위배되지 않는다는 법적인 승인을 거쳐 1997년 포트폴리오 라이센스를 공표함으로써 그 본격적인 활동을 펼쳐나가고 있다. 본 고는 표준화와 관련된 특허권 활용의 관점에서 획기적 사건이 되고 있는 MPEG LA의 활동 현황을 분석한 것으로서 특히 그 특허 POOL의 내역과 로열티 구조를 중점적으로 하여 포트폴리오 라이센스의 체계를 소개한다.

한 세기전, 라이트 형제와 커티스의 비행기 기술 특허권이 특허 소송으로 시작하여 특허풀 결성으로 마무리된 분쟁은 한낱 다른 나라의 과거사로만 볼 수는 없다. 그 이면에는 우리 산업이 앞으로 무엇을 반복하지 말아야 할지, 바람직한 지식재산 전략의 방향이 무엇인지를 알려주는 교훈이 숨어있기 때문이다.

The object of this study is to present a strategy against technology protectionism of advanced countries focusing on international cooperation policy of KIPO and infringement of overseas intellectual property rights on the notion that a policy performed without a long-term plan will not lead to industrial growth in the long run. There is a high possibility that aggressive patent policy and black box strategy of Japanese enterprise can be a burden to Korean enterprises. Thus, a policy should be established against the technology protectionism. The policy can be based on a strategy about international cooperation policy of KIPO and strategy against infringement of overseas intellectual property rights. Of course, collaboration and cooperation will be activated among the advanced countries including technical cooperation. However, a systematic strategy of intellectual property rights should be focused on international cooperation and countermeasure against infringement of overseas intellectual property rights because national interest takes precedence over any other interest especially in case of strategically owing industry. A strategy against technology protectionism of advanced countries is as follows. A strategy is required to cope with infringement of overseas intellectual property rights. Korean government has to strengthen the function of overseas intellectual property rights protection center, strengthen boundary restriction of infringement goods, promote international dispute study, train international dispute specialist, construct confidence as social capital etc. Enterprises have to maintain no Patent no Future policy, specialize on application and countermeasure against infringement dispute, participate for formation and standardization of patent pool, strive for specialization regarding technical transfer and license management.

The object of this study is to present a strategy against technology protectionism of advanced countries focusing on international cooperation policy of KIPO and infringement of overseas intellectual property rights on the notion that a policy performed without a long-term plan will not lead to industrial growth in the long run. The number of dispute cases of intellectual property rights in Japan ranks first with 275 cases compared to that of other countries. Among the dispute case, the number of validation trial is 107 cases(38.9%), and correction trial is 83 cases(30.2%). The USA ranks second in dispute of intellectual property rights. Among the dispute of intellectual property rights in the USA, the number of validation trial is 66 cases(64.7%), and correction trial is 21 cases(20.6%). A strategy against technology protectionism of advanced countries is as follows. A strategy is required to cope with infringement of overseas intellectual property rights. Korean government has to strengthen the function of overseas intellectual property rights protection center, strengthen boundary restriction of infringement goods, promote international dispute study, train international dispute specialist, solve jurisdiction problem of patent court system, improve trial system, construct confidence as social capital etc. Enterprises have to maintain No Patent No Future policy, specialize on application and countermeasure against infringement dispute, participate for formation and standardization of Patent Pool, strive for specialization regarding technical transfer and license management.

디지털 컨버젼스 시대에 다양한 기술들이 고정된 기기보다는 Mobile 기기들에 집중되고 있으며, 이에 따라 보다 효율적인 통신 방식에 대한 차세대 이동통신 기술표준의 중요성은 증가하고 있다. 흔히 기술표준과 관련한 필수특허(Essential Patent)란 기술표준규정에 따라 제품 또는 방법을 실시하는 경우 해당 특허의 claim을 침해하게 되는 특허를 의미한다. 표준필수특허는 개별 라이센싱(licensing)을 통해 활용될 수도, 특허풀(Patent Pool)을 통해 활용될 수도 있기 때문에 Prosecution단계에서부터 각 활용형태에 따른 고려가 필요하다. 한편, 표준필수특허의 창출 과정에서, 출원 후 보정을 통해 필수특허를 창출하는 것의 적법성, 묵시적 라이선스(Implied License) 문제, Claim의 주체 문제 등이 문제될 수 있으며, 각각에 따른 대응 전략이 필요하다. 또한, 표준필수특허의 활용과정에서 반독점법상 견제에 대응하기 위한 FRAND 조건, 선언 의무 위반 등이 문제될 수 있다. 본고에서는 표준필수특허의 창출 및 활용에 있어서 법률상 문제와 이에 대한 대응 전략에 대해 알아본다.
