摘要 |
近幾年來,專利訴訟已經在各大企業間如火如荼的展開,因此專利佈局已經是現在公司企業必須重視的項目。目前常用以分析在一特定領域其他競爭者專利佈局之概況的專利分析工具為技術功效矩陣,然而其分析結果尚未能充分展現該特定領域的技術發展現況,進而使得後續技術研發並發展專利佈局具有較高的不確定性。本研究提出一專利佈局分析的方法,結合技術功效矩陣以及技術系統演化趨勢的優勢,以有效的了解一特定領域的專利佈局現況與技術發展現況,進而從中找出適當的發展方向以發展自身的專利佈局。本研究結果顯示,於所選用之案例研究中,本研究提出之專利佈局分析方法確實能使建議的開發項目有更加精細的排序,並能凸顯更易於進行發展的項目,有利於研發人員集中資源於少數的項目進行發展,進而使的後續申請專利拓展專利佈局更加有效率。
關鍵字:專利佈局、專利分析、技術功效矩陣、技術系統演化趨勢
In recent years, the patent
litigation between the big companies has come out one after the
other, so the companies must pay attention to the patent
strategy. The technology function matrix is the main tool used
for analyzing the patent portfolios of the other competitors in
a specific field currently, however, the analysis results are
not yet fully demonstrated the specific areas of technology
development status, making the follow-up technical research and
development of patent portfolios be more uncertainly. The
proposed of this research is to develop a patent analysis which
combines the advantages of the technology function matrix and
the trend of engineering system evolution for recognizing the
current status of the patent portfolios and technical
development on a specific field, and find the ideal directions
to develop a patent portfolio for oneself. The results of this
research in the case studies show that the patent analysis can
indeed make the ideal directions has a more explicit sort to
develop a patent portfolio, and highlight the directions which
is easier to develop, so that the resource can be concentrated
in the ideal directions and the development of patent portfolio
can be more efficient.
Key words: patent strategy,
patent portfolio, patent analysis, technology function matrix,
trend of engineering system evolution
