Highly cited patents (HCPs) were selected from the patents published from 2002 to 2006. Citation frequencies of patents were obtained from the database provided by DWPI and were analyzed with respect to the IPC (International Patent Classifications). HCPs were selected as those who occupy top 1% of citations in the sets of patents given by IPCs and publication year. After selecting the HCPs their distribution over IPCs, Industrial Classifications and patent assignees' nationalities were analyzed. According to the result the US held 5,634 patents (66.9%) out of the total 8,416 patents occupying the the first rank in the distribution of patent assignees' nationalities. Japan and Germany ranked the 2nd and 3rd place holding 885 (10.5%) and 521 (6.2%) HCPs, respectively. On the other hand, Korea were positioned at 6th holding 151 (1.8%) HCPs. Among the industrial sectors classified by the Industrial Classifications provided by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, Manufacturing Sector occupied the 1st place with 7,692 HCPs (81.7%) and Waste Treatment Sector occupied the 2nd place with 578 HCPs (5.9%).

As the domestic animation industry is shrinking, it is time to actively respond to changes in new technologies and animation production methods. From 2016 to 2020, through patent information registered in the United States, China, and Korea in the field of animation technology, applicants who are the subject of technology were analyzed and technical policies and strategies pursued by applicants in each country were reviewed. China registered the most patents, so the technical activity index was high, and the US family patent size was high. As a result of positioning analysis, the U.S. market expansion influence decreased over time, China's technological activity gradually increased over time, and Korea's technological activity and family patent size decreased. Reflecting China's rise as the world's largest animation producer, Korea should also develop a policy to support animation.

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.

Technology trends of coal gasification were studied through patent analysis. The patents published or registered in Korea, U. S. A., Japan and Europe, and administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization from mid 1970s to 2010 were analyzed based on the application tendency, patent share, major applicants and their activity indices, and market power, etc. Japan and U. S. A. led the patent activities in the early phase of technology development, but major applicants had been diversified globally since 2000. Portfolio analysis revealed that the technology was under developing period. The analysis showed that the most active R&D had been focused on gasifier development. Technology competitiveness was analyzed via indices such as cites per patent, patent impact index, technology strength and patent family size, etc. Key patents were extracted through quantification based on patent family size and cites per patent. The technology flow was figured out to reveal the technology trends.

Patent information as the innovative index for activity of industry, science and technology reflects the inventive outcome of the nation, region, technology, or company etc.. and is able to be used as a tool evaluating the R&D product and technology diffusion. In this study, the index for analysing the productivity, innovation, and activity of the technology is provided to evaluate the technology in fields of the pharmaceutic, transport, biotechnology, textile, construction, machine parts, information media, and electric/telecommunication, which are becoming the national core technology. As a result of analysis, the technology activity in fields of the construction, pharmaceutic, and biotechnology shows a growing trend which reflect the interest in the quality and the extension of the life, but vice versa in fields of the textile, and information media. The innovation index in fields of the construction, pharmaceutic, and biotechnology index more than average, but vice versa in fields of the information media and electric/telecommunication. In case of technology productivity, more than 2 patentees are included in one patented technology. It has been determined that the technology productivity is decreased because of an increasing number of researcher participating the technology development, which is the recent trend of technology advancement.

In this paper, We tried to analyze the patent trend on constitution diagnosis and treatment related technologies. For this, constitution diagnosis and treatment related technologies divided into 16 sub-technology by the advisory committee. And we analyzed patents applied in Korea, Japan, U.S.A., China, and Europe. The 16 sub-technology consist of pulse analyzer, skin diagnosis, tongue analyzer, face and body detector, face analyzer, voice analyzer, intelligence ontology, meridian diagnosis, infrared thermography, electric stimulation, laser, high and low frequency, physical, magnetic, and ultrasound therapy. As a result we found that patents of constitution diagnosis and treatment in Korea has been growing steadily in both quality and quantity since 1980s. The number of patent the pulse analyzer and low frequency therapy are larger than others. But applied relevant international patents, marketability of the patent and Cites per Patent (CPP) index are shown to be very low. In conclusion, to occupy key original technologies of the Oriental medical device, we need to apply more patent of the whole related technology and international patents.

This study is to compare and analyze the technology competitiveness of Big Data sector through patent analysis. According to results of the analysis, the United States is the most active country on the patent activities and its applied and registered patents have multiplied in recent times. However, both CPP(Cited Per Patent) and PII(Patent Impact Index) of the US would have declined, indicating that the growth of technology in the US seems to be biased to quantitative growth of technologies. Korea has been relatively active patent activities with Japan, China and Canada, whereas it has tended to be biased to quantitative growth with the US; Therefore, Korea government needs to concentrate efforts to retain the high quality technologies.
