Abstract

Patents that are research results from industry-university cooperation (IUC) are a source of innovation, and play an important role in economic growth, such as technology transfer and commercialization. For this reason, there are many efforts to revitalize IUC, but in general, company patents are achievements that can be commercialized, rather than research achievements, so not all patents are used for business, even after their creation as the outcome of IUC. Therefore, this research supports the design of measures in which IUC can ultimately be linked to successful utilization of patents by identifying the purposes of IUC, even after it has been successfully promoted, and patents have been filed as a result. To this end, first, the patents registered for industry-academia cooperation in the United States are collected, and second, a predictive model is designed, with unexpired and expired patents predicted using machine learning techniques. The final identified patents are intended to derive available factors in terms of marketability and technicality. This study is expected to help predict the utilization of unexpired and expired patents, and is expected to contribute to setting goals for research results from technical cooperation between corporate and university officials planning early IUC.

산학협력 성과물 중 하나인 특허는 혁신의 원천이자 기술이전 및 기술사업화를 통한 경제성장에 중요한 역할을 하고 매개체이다. 그러나 산학협력이 궁극적으로 기업이 원하는 결과를 창출하기 위해서는 산학협력의 성과물인 특허가 사업에 활용되어야 함에도 모든 특허가 사업에 활용되는 것은 아니다. 본 연구에서는 산학협력이 성공적으로 추진되어 그 성과물로 특허가 창출된 이후에도, 사업화로 연계되지 못하는 경우에 대해 그 원인을 파악하여 산학협력이 궁극적으로 성공적인 사업화로 연계될 수 있는 방안을 설계할 수 있도록 지원한다. 이를 위해 첫째 미국의 산학협력 등록특허를 수집하고, 둘째 머신러닝 기법으로 활용 특허와 미활용 특허를 분류할 수 있는 예측모형을 설계하였다. 최종적으로 식별된 특허들의 시장성과 기술성을 분석하여 두 유형의 특허에 있어 유의미한 차이점을 도출하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 학술적으로 활용 및 미활용 특허의 예측 연구의 기반이 될 것이며, 실무적으로는 산학협력을 기획하는 기업 및 대학 담당자가 기술협력을 위한 전략수립에 기여할 것으로 기대 된다.
