Abstract

The valuation of patented technology has been recently emphasized, and the patent citation is known as an important factor. This study performed a generalized linear model to find variables that effect the patent citation. We classified 13 variables as morphological, technological and conceptual factors and used them to find out effective variables in 14 medical devices classification. Through the empirical study, we found seven effective variables (assignee nationality, assignee character, the number of inventors, the number of application countries, the number of IPC, the number of references, the strength of bibliographic coupling). In order to apply to Korean industry, this study has significance that provides basic research to citation analysis model.

최근 특허기술의 가치평가가 크게 강조되고 있으며, 특허의 피인용횟수는 특허기술 가치평가에 있어 중요한 척도이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 특허를 대상으로 피인용횟수에 영향을 주는 변수들을 도출하기 위하여 일반화 선형모형 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 총 12개의 변수를 형태적, 기술적 그리고 개념적 요인으로 분류하였고, 국내 의료기기 특허 14개의 분야에 적용하여 분석한 결과 출원인 국적, 출원인 유형, 발명자 수, 출원국가 수, IPC 수, 참고문헌 수, 서지결합도가 특허 피인용횟수에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국내 실정에 적용 가능한 연구를 수행함으로써 국내 특허에 대한 인용분석 방법론에 있어서 실질적인 기초적 자료를 제공했다는데 의의가 있다.
