과학기술활동에 의해 창출된 발명은 주로 특허에 의해 보호되고 있으나, 특허통계ㆍ지표에 대해서 국제적인 기준이 마련되지 않아 국제비교가 어려운 실정이며, 측정요소들의 조합에 의해 특허통계ㆍ지표의 종류 또한 매우 다양하지만, 이 지표를 모두가 과학기술활동을 측정하는 데에 유용한지에 대해서는 의문시된다. 따라서 그 대안으로서 각국 국가연구개발사업의 성과평가지표 활용사례 및 활용되고 있는 특허통계ㆍ지표를 중심으로 분석ㆍ연구하고자 한다.

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, competition for artificial intelligence technology patents around the world is intensifying. During the period 2000 ~ 2021, artificial intelligence technology patent applications at the US Patent and Trademark Office have been steadily increasing, and the growth rate has been steeper since the 2010s. As a result of analyzing Korea's artificial intelligence technology competitiveness through patent indices, it is evaluated that patent activity, impact, and marketability are superior in areas such as auditory intelligence and visual intelligence. However, compared to other countries, overall Korea's artificial intelligence technology patents are good in terms of activity and marketability, but somewhat inferior in technological impact. While noise canceling and voice recognition have recently decreased as topics for artificial intelligence, growth is expected in areas such as model learning optimization, smart sensors, and autonomous driving. In the case of Korea, efforts are required as there is a slight lack of patent applications in areas such as fraud detection/security and medical vision learning.

Utilizing the patent application data between 1997 and 2002, this study focuses on analysing the impact of patents on firm value. Especially we attempt to examine the difference of patents between venture firms and general firms. This paper first shows that the number of the patent applications of general firms listed on the securities market are more than those of venture firms listed on KOSDAQ. It is thought that this result is originated from facts that the size of firms of the securities market is usually bigger than the firms of KOSDAQ and that these large firms could manage R&D more efficiently. Second, this paper reports that there is no difference in the ratio of patent maintenance between venture firms and general firms. Both venture firms and non-venture firms would do their best to keep their patents after patent regisration. Third, in the regression of patent index and firm growth, we find that the excellence of patent and the number of patents per employee would have an impact on the growth of firms. Fourth, the regression of patent index and profitability shows that the excellence and the number of patents per employee might have an effect on the profitability of firms.

In order to successfully adopt and implement the Balanced Scorecard(BSC), firms need to respond adequately to the rapid changes of today's business environment and consider the growing importance of non financial factors in the business activities such as intangible assets(R&D expenditure, patent, goodwill, etc.). Our primary focus throughout this paper is on developing Key Performance Index(KPI) of BSC for R&D expenditure activities. In this study, we have developed and named PEI(Patent Efficiency Index),which is the KPI for R&D expenditure by focusing on the efficiency of a patent that is the output from the R&D expenditures. Secondarily, we have attempted to address the solution for the current problems of the traditional R&D performance measurement by using our developed PEI and examine the usefulness and effectiveness of the newly developed our PEI. According to the empirical test results, we find that the PEI is positively associated with ROA and Tobin's Q, respectively and show that our developed PEI is more effective and accurate than the traditional R&D performance measurement as a business performance measurement. Furthermore, these findings proves that we can measure and evaluate how efficiently the firms perform the R&D activities and shows that the PEI can be a critical index for evaluating firm's business performance related to the R&D expenditures.

We evaluate the technical competitiveness of Korea in lubricating oil industries by comparatively analyzing the patent activities. In achieving the goal, we collect and statistically analyze the historical patent data of lubricants production technologies. We here consider nine technology groups classified by their raw material types and process features of four countries such as USA, Japan, EU and Korea. We then evaluate Korea's competitiveness in lubricating oil industries using different patent index including patent family size, cites per patent, patent impact index and technology strength. Based on the evaluation results, we finally propose the practical strategies to improve Korea's competitiveness in lubricants industries.

Patents are the sources reflecting technology development by research and development(R&D) as well as the tools to secure economic benefits in the market, so using patent information is crucial for decision making processes in formulating technology development strategies. Intellectual property(IP) portfolios including a set of patents related to products and individual technologies are the basic unit that has the economic meaning in making national policies and technology strategies. Therefore, this research develops a total of 69 measures to identify the collective characteristics for IP portfolios("characteristics index"), by incorporating the patent indexes that have been widely used and the patent indexes that developed recently, and applying the concepts to patent analysis that have been used in interdisciplinary studies including economics and library and information science. The results of this research produced a characteristics index manual which helps experts to identify characteristics of technological innovation systems from various dimensions. We expect that the characteristics indexes can be used as a supportive tool for comparative analysis among IP portfolios in the technology policy making process.

Patent information analysis has been carried out for technological capability analysis of competitors relating to next generation mobile communication. Various analysis methods, such as applicant analysis, technology classification analysis, indicator analysis and the like have been utilized as a method of analyzing patent information. As a first step for the technological capability analysis of competitors, applicants having high patent activity(PA) were selected, and as a second step therefor, technology classifications showing high technological independence (TI) were selected. Furthermore, portfolios for technology classifications showing high technological independence in the patents of main applicants having high patent activity by matching results the first and second steps together were prepared. Through such a process, portfolios for important technologies which have been concentrically researched by competitors could be analyzed. Accordingly, the present analysis results will help to carry out strategic R&D management, such as the establishment of company R&D plans and patent strategies.

미래의 기업 환경은 유형 자산으로서의 물질적인 자산보다는 지적재산권 등의 무형 자산에 대한 중요성이 더욱 강조될 것이다. 지적재산권 중 특허의 가치를 통하여 기업의 성과가 변화함을 보인 많은 선진국의 사례 연구-Machluo(1958)으로부터 시작하여 Mansfield(1965), Beck. R(1976), Parker. J(1978), Rosegger. G(1980), Scherer. F(1980) 등 1990년 이후는 무수히 많음-는 미래 기업 경쟁력이 질적 가치가 우수한 특허를 얼마나 보유하고 이를 얼마나 효율적으로 관리하는가에 달려있음을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 화학기업의 특허관리 유형을 5가지 특허 지표들-국내특허출원건수(relative patent applications), 국내특허등록건수(patent granted), 유효특허건수 (valid patents), 집중도(concentration of patents in subclass), 국제특허출원건수(overall international patent applications)-을 통하여 구분하였으며, 이들 변수를 가지고 군집화 하였을 때 각각에 해당하는 클러스터에서 기업성과에 차이가 나타나는지 알아보았다. 본 연구에서 특허를 기업성과와 관련시켜 설명한 점은 기술혁신 능력 내지는 기술경쟁력을 측정하는 척도로서 특허를 바라본 것이며, 특허의 전략적 관리와 활용이 독점적 시장 우위의 확립과 경제적 성과 향상, 통합적인 경쟁력 강화 측면에서 기업의 성공을 가져올 것으로 보기 때문이다.
