Indoor gardens tailored to suit individual tastes offer a place to enjoy plants and to relax to city dwellers to relieve stress from city life. However, there are technical issues to build such indoor gardens. To offer solutions to technical issues, this study aims to analyze development phases of indoor garden-related technologies by studying available patents in detail. Also, the study aims to understand current status and future direction of technologies by examining technological trends for introduction of indoor gardens. Brainstorming method was used to understand technology trends and as a result, two groups were identified for technical features of indoor gardens: indoor greening technology and rest area for users. An analysis on selected patents showed that the number of patents increased until 2010 and declined gradually afterwards. Korea ranked the highest in the number of patents grant followed by USA, Japan and Europe. Similar order was observed with the number of patents granted by nationality of applicants. The number of patents granted by nationality was the highest for Korean nationals. For indoor greening technologies, patents related to structure from 2007 were mostly concentrated in the areas of irrigation control and environment control for plants and vegetation. For rest area related technologies, patent related to structure showed a repetitive pattern of increasing and decreasing, but overall, on downtrend. For further development and dissemination of indoor gardening technology, more R&D work is needed with focus on environmental control technology for designing suitable environment for both human and plant.

In this study, the patent trends for noise barrier and noise reducing device have been analyzed, for the development of adaptive noise barrier according to the transmission characteristics of railway noise. Using patent search engine, keyword searching for patents after 1980 in Korea was performed. The first 667 patents details were reviewed for the extraction core(ie, key) patents. From this review, finally 70 patents were built as DB. From this analysis of core patents, system requirements for development of noise reducing device were obtained.

This study analyzed 467patent for toothbrush that used for oral hearlth, registered for 10years from 2008 to 2017 at KIPRIS which can search patent. Based on the toothbush composition, 8categories were detailed information was subdivided. As a result showed that the most patents were patent for toothbrush bristle, patent for additional function, patent for electronic toothbrush, patent for toothbrush's head, patent for toothbrush in different form, patent for toothbrush's neck, patent for learning of brushing habits, patent for toothbrush's handle. The patent that has a variety of the section was a patent for additional function, the patent for toothbrush bristle was the highest that is 25 in 2012. The only increasing number of patents compared to toothbrush patents, which are decreasing slightly in 2017, was the Patent for learning of brushing habits and the patent for toothbrush's handle. As a result, from 2009, the number of patents for toothbrushes has increased and varied.

Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) is one of the II-VI semiconducting materials, having novel fundamental properties and diverse areas of application such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), electroluminescence, flat panel displays, infrared windows, catalyst, chemical sensors, biosensors, lasers and biodevices, etc. However, despite the remarkable versatility and prospective potential of ZnS, research and development (R&D) into its applications has not been performed in much detail relative to research into other inorganic semiconductors. In this study, based on global patent information, we analyzed recent technical trends and the current status of R&D into ZnS applications. Furthermore, we provided new technical insight into ZnS applicable fields using in-depth analysis. Especially, this report suggests that ZnS, due to its infrared-transmitting optical property, is a promising material in astronomy and military fields for lenses of infrared systems. The patent information analysis in this report will be utilized in the process of identifying the current positioning of technology and the direction of future R&D.

Recently, patent information related to building information modeling (BIM) has been increasing owing to BIM adoption within the construction sector. However, only a few research studies have focused on identifying trends in the domestic and foreign BIM technology based on comprehensive and objective data. Therefore, this study aims to analyze technical competitiveness in the global BIM market using patent information. The patent information is compiled from WIPSON and consists of 73 South Korea, 59 USA, 206 China, and 31 Japan applications. Based on patent information, this study objectively observes domestic and foreign technological BIM trends. As a result of the technology entry analysis by the year, starting from physics (G section) to electricity (H section), the performing operations (B section), and the fixed structure (E section) has been expanded gradually. According to the portfolio analysis, the BIM patent is currently in its early stage of development. Through this research, utilizing patents as a basis for future development will be expected to consult with the differentiation of strategy and setting of direction.

Seaweeds contain various bioactive compounds. Especially, brown algae (Phaeophyceae), the second abundant group of seaweeds, contain numerous nutraceutical and pharmaceutical substances. In this review, we investigated on the brown algae-related patents and literature. Consequently, the research and development (R&D) trends of patent related to brown algae showed that the large majority was applied as the composition of stem cell culture medium and mostly used as active substances. In conclusion, we suggested that many researchers try to investigate and develop applications of brown algae as the sophisticated-level biomedical materials because brown algae are actively developing as simple-level biomedical materials.
