Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze Korean domestic patents on aconiti ciliare radix and to identify the trend of aconitum tuber technology. Methods: To analyze the patent, a combinations of words such as "aconitum" or "korean aconite root" were used in search engine Kipris(www.kirpis.or.kr). The patents of aconiti ciliare radix were analyzed in three ways: year trend analysis, internatonal patent classification (IPC) code analysis related to content classification, and patent registration status analysis. Results: Among the patents found in the search results, 17 patents with significant contents were analyzed. Results showed that, first, patents were steadily registered until 2018, but recently there has been no new patent registration. Second, there were many patents related to efficacy verification and decoction method, and the number of IPC codes related to them was also high. Third, there are five patents maintaining the registration status, and they are patents related to the aconiti ciliare radix extraction method, toxicity removal, and combination method. Conclusions: In this study, the domestic patents of aconiti ciliare radix were analyzed. The analysis results of this study are expected to be exploited as basic data for the development of Korean medicine analgesics with fewer side effects by suppressing tuber toxicity and the creation of new medical technologies.

From its foundation until 2004, ETRI has registered over 1,000 US patents. This letter analyzes the characteristics of these patents and addresses the explanatory factors affecting their citation counts. For explanatory variables, research team related variables, invention specific variables, and geographical domain related variables are suggested. Zero-altered count data models are used to test the impact of independent variables. A key finding is that technological cumulativeness, the scale of invention, outputs in the electronic field, and the degree of dependence on the US technology domain positively affect the citation counts of ETRI-invented US patents. The magnitude of international presence appears to negatively affect the citation counts of ETRI-invented US patents.

국내에서 출원되는 특허건수는 매년 증가하고 있으나, 이러한 특허들 중 상당수는 활용되지 못하고 사장되고 있다. 2012년 국정감사 자료에 따르면, 우리나라 대학 및 공공연구기관이 보유한 특허의 약 73%가 사회적 가치창출로 연결되지 못하는 휴면특허라고 한다. 즉, 대학/연구소 또는 사업화가 어려운 개인이 소유하고 있는 특허가, 이를 필요로 하는 수요기업에 성공적으로 기술 이전되지 못하는 것을 휴면특허 증가의 주요 문제점으로 생각할 수 있다. 본 연구는 급격히 축적되는 방대한 특허 자원들 속에서, 기업의 관심분야에 적합한 지식재산을, 보다 쉽고, 효과적으로 선별할 수 있도록 하는 소셜태깅 기반의 특허 추천플랫폼을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 기존 특허들로부터 핵심적인 내용 및 기술 분야를 추출하여 초기 추천을 수행하고, 이후 사용자들의 태그정보가 축적되면, 사회적 지식 (social knowledge)을 추천에 함께 반영하게 된다. 이러한 연구에는 특허청에서 운영하고 있는 KIPRIS(Korea Industrial Property Rights Information Service) 시스템에서 실제 특허자료 총 1638건을 수집한 후, 현재 특허 데이터에는 존재하지 않는 가상의 태그 정보를 추가한 반가상(semi-virtual) 데이터를 구성하여 활용하였다. 제안된 시스템은 프로그래밍 언어 JAVA를 활용하여 핵심 알고리즘을 구현하였으며, 그래픽사용자 인터페이스(Graphic User Interface)에 대한 프로토타입의 설계를 수행하였다. 또한, 시나리오테스트 방식으로 시스템의 운영타당성 및 추천 효과성을 확인하였다.

2003년 '산업교육진흥 및 산학협력촉진에 관한 법률'에 따라 국내대학은 기업 및 정부 기관과 협업을 통하여 기초연구에서 산업에 응용할 수 있는 상업화 연구에 집중하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 산학협력을 통한 기술이전 및 기술사업화의 비율은 낮은 실정이다. 대부분의 기술이전 및 기술사업화 연구는 권리가 존재하는 특허를 분석하여 핵심기술을 도출하였다. 반면, 본 연구에서는 권리가 소멸된 특허를 기반으로 산학협력 유망기술을 도출하는 방법론을 제안한다. 이를 위해 첫째 국내 주요 대학의 미활용 등록 특허를 수집하고, 둘째 미활용 특허와 활용 특허의 품질 특성을 비교하여 미활용 특허의 가치를 검토하며, 최종적으로 미활용 특허 중 핵심특허를 발굴하여 해당 특허가 활용될 수 있는 기업과 활용 분야를 발굴하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 대학의 미활용 특허에 초점을 맞추어 지속적인 산학협력 및 기술이전이 가능한 특허를 발굴하고 이를 잠재수요기업과 매칭하는 전략 틀을 제시한 연구로, 대학의 산학협력 활성화와 기업의 기술사업화의 효율성 증대에 기여 할 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives : This study aims to investigate the current situation of domestic patents in Korea on natural products and to provide directions for developing and applying herbal medicinal products by in-depth analyses. Methods : Combinations of words, such as "A61K" or "A61P", "herb" or "Korean medicinal herb" or "Korean medicine" or "traditional" or "natural" or "$botanic^*$" or "China", and "medicine" or "treatment" or "prevention" or "improvement", were used to search patents in the World Intellectual Property Service (WIPS) database. Three methods were applied to analyze natural products patents. First, the number of patent registrations was sorted by year. Second, the assignees were analyzed by count and country of origin. Finally, cluster map analysis was conducted to explore frequently emerging words in natural products and the relationship amongst those words to treat corresponding diseases/technologies. Results : Results showed that, first, the total number of patents had been increasing. Among the patents, 76.4% were registered by domestic institutes/companies, and 23.6% by foreign institutes/companies. Second, USA, Japan, and China possess a considerable number of Korean patents and, therefore, domestic institutes/companies can seek joint technological development opportunities with their counterparts from those countries in the future. Finally, a total of four clusters were identified by cluster map analysis. Each of the clusters includes natural products related to diseases involving skin, aging, and blood sugar, as well as adult diseases. Conclusions : In this study, natural products patents registered in the Korean Intellectual Property Office were analyzed. The analyses results showed the kinds of natural products that had been employed for the treatment of certain diseases. However, natural products included in existing patents were minimal given that 4,174 species of indigenous plants are found in Korea. Thus, Korean institutes/companies should utilize unexplored plants to develop more value-added drugs.

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 is more than that of venture firms listed on KOSDAQ. It is thought that this result is originated from the facts that the size of firms of the securities market is usually bigger than that of 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.

Recently, the number of patent applications have been increasing rapidly every year as the importance of protecting intellectual property rights becomes more important. Patents must be inventive and have novelty. Especially, the novelty implies that the corresponding invention is not the same as the previous invention. To confirm the novelty, prior art search must be conducted before and after the application. The target of prior art search should include not only Korean patents but also foreign patents. Search of foreign patents should be supported by multilingual search techniques. However, a dictionary-based naive approach shows a limitation because some technical concepts are represented in different terms according to each nation. For example, a Korean term and a Japanese term may not be synonym even though they represent the same technical concept. In this paper, we propose a new method to map semantic similarity between technical terms in Korean patents and Japanese patents. To investigate different representations in each nation for the same technical concept, we identified and analyzed pairs of patents those are mutually connected with priority claim relationship. By performing an experiment with real-world data, we showed that our approach can reveal semantically similar technical terms in other language successfully.

A technical analysis was conducted to predict the development trend for the highly efficient absorption type refrigeration system. The study was based on a submitted patent during January 1981 and December 2000 in Korea, Japan and America. The total number of extruded patents from the registered database was 24,822 and the filtering process makes the reduction of the data number to 3,510. Technical development of Japan for the absorption type refrigeration system is prominent compared to the other country due to approximately 75％ of the patents coming from Japan. When the patent is divided into two categories, the patent for component technology for the refrigeration system makes up 75％ and the refrigerating type technology 25％ of the patents. This shows technical development for the system component is advanced compared to the technology development for the system type. When the patents are classified by nationality of patent applicants, foreigners contribute up to 33％ of the patents in Korea. However, Japan's case shows the 99％ of the patents are invented by the Japanese. If the patents are classified to the International Patent Classification, most of the data for the absorption type refrigeration system belongs to IPC F25B.
