Purpose: In the period of international integration, how is the implementation of intellectual property regulation in developing countries? Do intellectual property rights help attract more Foreign direct investment (FDI)? This study aims to show the effect of intellectual property rights, reflect in the number of patent registered (Patent distribution into two components: Patent_residents and Patent_non-residents) on FDI attraction in Vietnam. Research design, data and methodology: Using Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for the data collected from 1990 to 2018 with EViews version 9 software. Conclusions: The results indicate that the number of patent protection has a positive effect on FDI in both short term and long term. In particular, only patent registration of foreign individuals and organizations has a significant positive effect on attracting FDI, while that of Vietnamese patents is not statistically significant. From the results of this study, we provide some recommendations to help attract FDI based on raising awareness of intellectual property rights: Increase international cooperation for innovation to learn and encourage patent; Improve the capac ity of inventing as well as the ability to register patents of Vietnamese people; Government agencies are tasked to support a nd review registration procedures; Encouraging patent registration based on the patent.

Self-driving technology is changing the paradigm of automotive industry. Since it is imperative to converge this emerging technology with ICT and there is a time lag between securing this emerging technology and occurrence of firm performance, it is difficult to make decisions on technology development. This study investigates patent indicators to understand the impact of self-driving technology on performance of automotive parts companies. We analyze 611 of self-driving technology patents from 2000 to 2016 and the financial performance of 270 small and medium businesses that register the corresponding patents with consideration of up to four years of time lag. Our analysis results show that patents related to self-driving has a positive impact on asset growth of 2 years and sales growth of 3 years in terms of time lag. This study contributes to the literature by analyzing the impact of technology development on the firm performance in case of convergence of the automotive and ICT industries. Additionally, this study provides a role of patent in knowledge management planning through technology development as a practical implication.

과거 산업경제의 기업 경쟁력은 생산력에서 비롯되었다면, 최근에는 무형자산인 특허의 확보력이 기업의 글로벌경제 성공요인의 중요한 조건이 되고 있다. 특히 기술의 변화가 빠르고, 국제적 특허분쟁이 심한 IT산업에서는 국내외 특허의 전략적 확보 및 관리의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 코스닥기업 중 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 217개 IT기업들의 특허활동을 양적인 요인인 생산성과 질적인 요인인 효율성 및 고급성으로 구분하고, 기업의 재무성과와의 영향관계를 검증하고 시사점을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 자원기반이론을 기반으로 선행연구를 실시하여 개념적 연구모형과 연구가설을 도출하고, 데이터 자료를 다중회귀모델로 실증 분석하여 다음과 같은 연구결과를 얻었다. 첫째, IT기업의 총자산 증가율에 대해 특허의 효율성과 고급성이 유의한 양(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, IT기업의 평균매출 증가율에 대해서는 특허의 세 가지 활동요인 모두 유의한 결과를 가져오지 못했다. 셋째, IT기업의 평균 순이익 증가율에 대해서는 특허의 고급성만이 양(+)의 영향을 가져왔다. 본 연구의 선행연구와의 차별성으로 특허활동을 양적인 요인과 질적인 요인으로 구분하여 재무성과와의 영향관계에 대한 연구를 진행하였고, 실무적 기여도에서는 국제적 특허분쟁이 심각한 IT기업들의 특허활동에 대해 전략적인 방향성을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.

This study was to analyze the trademarks of The Polo Lauren Company in fashion products and its analogous trademarks that have been applied or registered in the Korean Patent Office. The data was collected from the Korean Patent Office and KIPRIS search system was used. Total 468 trademarks applied by the date of September 10, 2003 including 317 registered trademarks of the Polo Lauren Company and 151 its analogous trademarks applied for fashion products, were used for the analysis. The results were follows. (1) Total 73 different types of trademarks of the Polo Lauren Company were registered for 26 product classification. Trademarks were composed of all possible combination of letter, sign and sketch to prevent the registration of its analogous trademark. Also even the same trademarks were registered for each different product classification. Since the early 1990s the extended trademarks for each segments reflecting diverse lifestyles were frequently registered. (2) Total 134 trademarks that had applied for registration were rejected due to its analogousness to the Polo Lauren. Most of them were seem to purposely analogous to mislead and to confuse consumers. The major type was to add one or two words as brand extention to the genuine Polo brand. Next type was minor modification of genuine trademark. The last type was almost same brand names in different product categories. (3) Total 3 trademarks were not permit to register by the objection of the Polo Lauren Company. Total 19 trademarks were permit to register. Those showed low degree of analogousness. However most of these trademarks were cancelled by the lawsuit of the Polo Lauren company.

The present study was to analyze the trend of registration of design rights in apparel products and tc point out problems of current protection law to design. The research data was total 1,850 design rights in apparel that have been registered to the Korean Patent and Trademark Office from the first design registered in March 1, 1963 through those registered in April 24, 2003. All design rights were analyzed by the year, by the type of product, and by the type of applicant. And also design rights registered under the revised design registration system(without examination) were analyzed by the trait. The results of the study were as follows: (1) Sweater & polo shirts, underpants, and the Korean traditional dress were three major single categories registered in apparel : (2) 54.3% of total design rights in apparel was registered since the legal system of design rights has been revised in March 1, 1998 : (3) Registration by individual applicant were 71.7% of total; (4) About 60% of total design rights were for aesthetic, but in some categories such as vest. brassiere, undershirts, designs for function were more frequently registered than others. And total 68 design rights for the symbol of the organization or uniform, were registered in upper outerwear and pants : (5) As problems of the current legal protection system for designs, the term of “design”(expressed in Korean), double registration of similar designs, malicious intention to register other's trademark as his/her own design. The current legal system for design rights were more used for the product that has relatively long life cycle. And the revised law has been effective in encouraging the registration of design rights. However. the current design law still has some problems to be revised to prevent design rights or trademark infringement.

This paper aims at finding some lessons applicable to successful implementation of 'The 3D Printing R/D Project' through both examining the process of adopting overseas industrialized housing production technological knowhow by home builders during the 1970's~1980's period and thereafter until now the various efforts to adjust the technologies efficiently to the Korea's unique situation. Some meaningful lessons can be summarized as follows; I) Deep understanding of 3DP technological know-why along with its inheritance, II) Readjusting of R/D period and goals(cf. Global leader Winsun's 15 years experiment), III) Restructuring for more collaborative R/D B&E system among participating researchers IV) Fostering 3DP expert-engineers and technicians from the early stage, V) Clearing legal barriers in users' adopting 3DP methods necessary, VI) Development of appropriate building material besides concrete. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the above-mentioned 6 lessons positively accepted and applied to the Research Implementation Plan in due course, especially by KICT consortium and KAIA under the guidance of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Natural gas hydrate (NGH) is emerging as a new eco-friendly source of energy to replace fossil fuels in the 21st century. It is well known that the Natural Gas Hydrate contains large amount of natural gas about 170 times as much as its volume and it is easy to be stored and transported safely at about $-20^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric pressure due to so called "self-preservation effect". The option of gas transport by gas hydrate pellets carrier has been investigated and developed in various industry and academy. The natural gas hydrate pellet carrier is on major link in a potential gas hydrate process chain, starting with the extraction of natural gas from the reservoir, followed by the production of hydrate pellets and the transportation to an onshore terminal for further processing or marketing. In recent years, Korean project team supported by Korean Government has been working on the development of NGH total systems including novel NGH carrier since 2011. In order to increase the knowledge on the NGH pellet carrier developed and to understand the major hazards that could have significant impact on the safety of the vessel, this paper presents and evaluates the pros and cons of cargo holds, loading and unloading systems through the analysis of current patent technology. Based on the proven and well-known technologies as well as potential measures to mitigate sintering and minimize mechanical stress on the hydrate pellet in the self-preservation state, this study presents the conceptual and basic design for NGH carrier.
