특허정보를 활용한 혁신위치 분석

Using patent data, we propose a new quantitative analysis to investigate the integration type and degree of leading edge technologies in order to examine the research & development (R&D) status, efficiency and strategies of companies. Defining three types of categorization based on IPC (International Patent Classification) and CO-IPC of patents, the concept of “innovation position” is introduced. Focusing in the US patents concerning “Display”, it is shown that the progress status of R&D in various industrial sectors and also the differences of companies’ core competences are reflected in innovation positions. Our approach shed brighter light on further comprehension of technological linkages and innovation.
