This study is about the patent information analysis of relevant companies and technologies based on International Patent Classification (IPC) code. 902 patent applications in the field of electronic commerce(G06Q) by NAVER, the biggest internet company in Korea, are the subjects of this study. First, we investigated the number of applications and registrations per IPC code so that we could analyze the core technology areas and the status of patent application. In addition, we examined the convergence of technologies by investigating interconnections between main and sub categories of IPC codes. Lastly, we looked into the changes in patent technologies by investigating the status of application per IPC code in accordance with year. By analyzing the IPC code based patent information used in this study, we could further expect the trends of companies and technologies.

With the explosively increasing intellectual property rights, securing technological competitiveness of companies is more and more important. In particular, since patents include core technologies and element technologies, patent analysis researches are actively conducted to measure the technological value of companies. Various patent analysis studies have been conducted by the International Patent Classification(IPC), which does not include the latest technical classification, and the technical classification accuracy is low. In order to overcome this problem, the Cooperative Patent Classification(CPC), which includes the latest technology classification and detailed technical classification, has been developed. In this paper, we propose a model to analyze the classification of the technologies included in the patent by using the detailed classification system of CPC. It is possible to analyze the inventor's patents in consideration of the relation, importance, and efficiency between the detailed classification schemes of the CPCs to extract the core technology fields and to analyze the details more accurately than the existing IPC-based methods. Also, we perform the comparative evaluation with the existing IPC based patent analysis method and confirm that the proposed model shows better performance in analyzing the inventor's core technology classification.

인공지능 관련 기술의 발달로 다양한 분야에서 인공지능 활용에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있으며 전문영역에서도 기계학습 기법을 활용한 연구들이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 특허청에서는 분야별 전문지식을 가진 분류담당자가 출원되는 모든 특허에 국제특허분류코드(이하 IPC) 부여 작업을 수행하고 있다. IPC 분류와 같은 전문적인 업무영역에서 딥러닝을 활용한 자동 IPC 분류 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 기계학습을 이용하는 분류 모델에 분야별 전문지식을 직관적으로 반영하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 딥러닝 기반의 IPC 분류 모델과 전문지식이 반영된 분류별 어휘사전을 활용한 규칙기반 분류 모델을 병행하여 특허문서의 IPC분류를 자동으로 추천하는 방법을 제안한다.

This study is the basic research about the patent information analysis to predict the technology trend based on the IPC(International Patent Classification) code. We investigated the patents in the field of Business Method(G06Q) since 2011. Consequently the most frequently IPC code in G06Q are as follows. G06Q 50/10(1,652), G06Q 30/02(816), G06Q 50/30(735), G06Q 40/02(713), G06Q 50/22(530), and G06Q 30/06(489).

In order to decide the naval ship weapon system acquisition for national policy/market economy activities, the decision makers can determine policy based on current technology level/concentration/utilization. For this, the decision makers apply the major common technology field analysis using patents data. As a method for collecting patent data, we can collect patent data of domestic mobile carriers through the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information System of Korean Intellectual Property Office. As a result, we collected 14,964 patents/352 International Patent Classification(IPC) types. Based on these data, we performed three analysis processes (SNA, PCA, ARIMA, Text Mining) and got each result from extracting 58 IPC types of SNA and 7 IPC types of PCA. Based on the analysis results, we have confirmed that 7 IPC(B63B, H01M, F03D, B01D, H02K, B23K, H01H) types are the Major Common Technology Distribution of domestic Defense Companies.

This study aims at analyzing the convergence of Internet-of-Things and wearables technologies using cooperative patent classification(CPC). CPC, introduced to an increasing number of technological fields of Korean patents, is expected to be widely used in Patent Informatics because the classification codes in CPC are more specific than those of IPC, which reflect the characteristics of technologies in detail with accuracy. CPC has seldom been used up to date and most of the previous researches on technological convergence used IPC. As a pre-analysis step for analyzing the trend of technological convergence of IoT and wearables, CPC and IPC codes assigned to each patent were compared. By applying association rule mining to the analysis of CPC codes, we identified the technological fields where convergence frequently takes place and examined the trend of technological convergence over time.

A technology is continuously developed in a rapidly changing global market. A company requires an appropriate R&D strategy for adapting to this environment. That is, the technologies owned by the company needs to be thoroughly analyzed to improve its competitiveness. Alternatively, technology classification using IPC codes is carried out recently in an objective and quantitative way. International Patent Classification, IPC is an internationally specified classification system, so it is helpful to conduct an objective and quantitative patent analysis of technology. In this study, all of the patents owned by company C are investigated and a matrix representing IPC codes of each patent is created. Then, a structured association map of the patents is made through association rules mining based on Confidence. The association map can be used to inspect the current situation of a company about patents. It also allows highly associated technologies to be clustered. Using the association map, this study analyzes the technologies of company C and how it changes with time. The strategy for future technologies is established based on the result.
