  • It is becoming increasingly difficult to identify promising technologies due to the influx of new technologies and the high level of complexity involved in many of these technologies. Identifying promising information and communications technology (ICT)-based converging technologies holds the key to finding new sources of economic growth and forward momentum. The goal of this study is to identify cutting-edge ICT-based converging technologies by examining the latest trends in the US patent market. Analyzing the US patent market, the most competitive of such markets in the world, can yield certain clues about which of the ICT-based converging technologies may be the next revolutionary technologies. For a classification of these technologies, this study follows the International Patent Classification system. As for ICT, there are 58 related fields at the subclass level and 831 fields at the main-group level. For emerging and converging technologies, there are 75 at the main-group level. From these technologies, a final selection for cutting-edge ICT-based converging technologies is made using a composite index reflecting the converging coefficient, emerging coefficient, and technology impact index.

  • 생명공학(BT) 분야는 고부가가치의 새로운 시장기회를 제공할 수 있는 잠재력이 있으며, 타분야와 융합 연구개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 2000년부터 2010년동안 한국특허청(KIPO)에 등록된 특허를 기준으로 우리나라 BT 융합기술의 실태를 실증분석 하고자 한다. 특히 국제특허분류(IPC) 체계에 따라 융합기술을 동종융합과 이종융합 기술로 구분하였으며, 그 시장의 특성을 파악을 위하여 기술 및 기업집중도, 시장확보력지수(PFS) 비교 실증분석을 한다. 또한 FOS 기술-분류표를 활용하여 BT기술과 이종융합이 일어나고 있는 산업군을 파악하여 신시장 창출현황을 살펴보고 이에 대한 시사점을 찾고자 한다. 그간 특허분석으로 많은 연구가 수행되었으나 우리나라 BT 융합기술 시장에 초점이 맞추어 진 연구는 거의 드문 실정으로 이러한 분석은 매우 의미가 있는 연구라고 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 융합기술 시장이 급속도로 확장되고 있으며, 소수 기업에 의하여 독과점화되고 있다는 사실을 확인하고, 종합적으로 BINET 융합 분야의 핵심 키워드 및 기술을 파악한다. 이러한 BT 융합의 추세는 향후 BT 산업화가 가속화되면서 더욱 강화될 것으로 전망되며, 본 연구를 통하여 확인된 향후 BT 기반 융합기술 정책수립에 많은 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The rising pace of technological change in information and communications technology (ICT) has provoked technological convergence by providing a new mode of diversification. This paper investigates the nature of ICT-based converging technologies by examining comparative empirical evidence on converging versus nonconverging technologies in relation to the following issues: patent application trends, concentration across technologies, the concentration of patenting activity across firms, R&D efforts, and a technology impact index. For this study, a new operational definition of ICT-based converging technology is derived, and a massive quantity of patents, up to around 600,000, is analyzed. This study follows the International Patent Classification as well as the modified European Commission's industry classification system for the classification of technologies and industries, respectively.

  • This study attempts to find out the spatial characteristics of the converging technology laboratory. For this, the understanding of the nature of converging technology and its necessary system requirements are crucial. The foremost concern lies in the 'flexibility' of the laboratory space, i.e. 'open-lab system', because of the multi-disciplinary spatial arrangement which is supposed to be open to a number of different research fields in the same building cluster. From the case analysis, this study reveals that in order to maximize the adjustability, the module based space unit plan should be considered at the earliest stage. In addition, it is also found from the analysis that the linkage of the communication spaces such as seminar room, auditorium, lounge, rest room, dining room, and corridors should be dealt with a higher degree of sophistication, since these facilitate the interaction of information at the behavioral level.
