Currently, The budget expenditure for national R&D has been on the rise, and the quantitative performance in national R&D programs has been increasing accordingly. However, a growth of qualitative performance can not reach to an upward trend of quantitative performance. For a poor qualitative performance such as patent grades and technologies with low efficiency of technology transfer, the performance evaluation centered on "number of cases" is necessary to improve and start to introduce various "qualitative performance indicators". This paper focuses on "Triadic Patent Families" being measurable the overseas competitiveness of patent applied in major countries(the US, Europe and Japan). It analyzes the influencing factors to evaluate the quality of qualitative performance of R&D program. The result of this analysis shows a significant effect on the creating of triadic patent families within factors of R&D scale and project characteristics. This paper is significantly meaningful to expand insufficient triadic patent families to the target of interest rather than early study relatively, and to analyze the influencing factors of the creation of triadic patent families.

The competition environment among companies is rapidly expanding into the world market. Therefore, this study intended to suggest an analysis method of patent portfolio that can compare an international technological capacity through empirical analysis on the global automobile companies. This study measured international patent activity using triadic patent data of 20 years from 1991 to 2010, and measured patent quality from legal, technological and economic aspects. As a result, Ford and GM, automobile companies of America, are analyzed to be the potential leaders with greatly increased patent quality. The significance of this study is in measuring international patent activities between global companies from different countries based on the triadic patent. And, this study suggested methods of analyzing patent quality consistently from legal, technological and economic aspects based on the triadic patent.
