Abstract

With the growing interest in convergence, there have been various attempts to measure convergence, but the definition of convergence is ambiguous and consensus on appropriate indicators has not been reached, so measurement of convergence is still at a rudimentary stage. In this study, using the KSIC-IPC linkage table developed by the Korean Intellectual Property Office to analyze the correlation and impact of patents, industry, economy, and population, we propose a new evaluation model that can evaluate industry convergence from patent data. In addition, it was verified whether the industry convergence derived from this properly reflects the corporate convergence characteristics. As a result of classifying the convergence of 39,740 patents owned by global major automobile companies, and evaluating the degree of convergence of each company, it was confirmed that the industry convergence derived using the KSIC-IPC linkage table better reflects the corporate convergence characteristics than the technology convergence classified by IPC co-classification. Therefore, the industry convergence data of automotive sector derived from the new industry convergence evaluation model using the KSIC-IPC linkage table is expected to be widely used for future convergence research.

융합에 관한 관심이 고조되면서 융합을 측정하고자 하는 다양한 시도들이 이루어지고 있으나, 융합의 정의가 모호하고, 측정 지표에 대한 컨센선스가 이루어지지 않아 융합의 측정에 대해서는 더욱 많은 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 한국특허청에서 특허와 경제, 산업, 인구 등과의 영향도 및 상관관계를 분석할 수 있도록 개발한 산업(KSIC)-특허(IPC) 연계표를 이용하여 특허 데이터로부터 산업융합을 평가할 수 있는 신규 평가 모형을 제안하고, 이로부터 도출된 산업융합이 기업의 융합특성을 제대로 반영하는지를 여부를 실증하였다. 글로벌 주요 자동차 기업들이 보유한 39,740건 특허의 융합여부를 각각 분류하고, 각 기업의 융합도를 평가한 결과, KSIC-IPC 연계표를 이용하여 도출된 산업융합은 동시분류분석으로 분류된 기술융합보다 기업의 융합특성을 보다 잘 반영한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 KSIC-IPC 연계표를 이용한 신규 산업융합 평가모델로부터 도출된 자동차 분야 산업융합 자료는 향후 융합연구에 널리 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
