Abstract

This study divided hairpiece-related technologies into three categories: Materials, Structure, Hair Extensions. Then, it investigated the current patent application trends in the above technologies and attempted to determine what aspects should be focused on in terms of the growth potential of hairpiece-related technologies and future technologies. A hairpiece is used to cover a specific balding area resulting from innate factors such as heredity or acquired traits including disease or accident. It is also used to make short hair look longer. Recently, as the rates of hair loss caused by stress increase, there has been a rising demand for hairpieces that can quickly and conveniently cover a balding region as well as satisfy people's aesthetic needs through diverse hairstyling. Even though patents have been applied evenly across hairpiece technology fields, patent activity has declined since 2010 was confirmed. Therefore, this study targets the facilitation and expansion of the hairpiece technology market by suggesting desirable R&D directions for future hairpiece-related technologies after analyzing current hairpiece patent trends.

본 연구에서는 가발과 관련된 기술을 가발소재, 가발구조, 붙임머리로 나누고, 이들 기술분야에 대한 특허출원 동향을 살펴봄으로써 가발과 관련된 기술에 대한 발전 가능성과 향후 가발 관련기술에서 주안점을 두어야 할 부분을 파악하고자 연구하였다. 가발은 유전에 의한 선천적 원인 또는 병이나 사고에 의한 후천적 원인으로 발생하는 두피의 탈모부위를 가리거나 짧은 머리를 길게 변화시키기 위해 사용되는 것으로, 최근 스트레스에 따른 탈모율이 증가하면서 간편하게 탈모부위를 가려주거나 또는 탈모가 없더라도 다양한 길이와 형태로 스타일링 함으로써 미적 욕구를 만족시킬 수 있는 가발의 선호도가 증가하고 있다. 가발 관련기술은 대체로 모든 기술분야에 고르게 출원이 이루어지고 있기는 하나, 2010년 이후 점차 특허활동이 감소하는 추세에 있음을 확인하였다. 이에 본 연구는 가발 관련 기술에 대한 특허동향을 분석 및 파악함으로써 향후 가발 관련기술에 대한 바람직한 연구개발 방향 설정을 유도하여 가발 관련기술 시장의 활성화 및 시장 규모의 증대에 기여하고자 한다.
