Since the industrial revolution in the 19th century, human society has utilized the automation production to increase operating efficiency and to reduce the manufacturing costs. For the last 10 years, the technology development of information-communication technology (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) have further revolutionized the industry as the...

Biologics is a kind of medicine which is developed by biotechnology. According to the progression of biotechnology, patent expiration, keen competition of generic drug and the high profit, there are many biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies into the biological market between Cross-Straits. This paper analyzed the patent across US, Taiwan and...

Patent analysis of new technology development can be focused on various aspects, e.g., identifying the competitiveness of a specific country or the technical advances of a firm in the given domain. The offshore wind power (OWP) has been promoted and encouraged by many countries for their renewable energy development. This research focuses on system...

Innovative activities have become more important in recent years with the shortening of product lifecycles. Companies need to employ efficient means for developing innovative products which are consistent with the dynamic changes of the marketplace and have sustainable technological advantages. In this research, we focus on the product design proce...

This research studies the patents, intellectual properties and licensing landscape of the Light Emitting Diode (LED) industry. The ontology of LED technology is described and defined as four major sub-technology domains. The finding provides LED companies with consistent knowledge of their own and their competitors' patents and intellectual propert...

Patent analysis of new technology development can be focused on various levels and viewpoints, e.g., identifying the competitiveness of a specific country or the technical advances of a firm. In Taiwan, offshore wind power (OWP) has been proposed as one of alternative green and sustainable energy solutions. This research focuses on systematically d...

With the growth of the knowledge-based economy, intellectual property right (IPR) is recognized as a key factor to develop and protect the strategic competitiveness and innovation of an enterprise. Patents are used to encourage and protect inventions and to stimulate commercial development complying with legal IPRs. Due to growing number of patents...

Patents are critical intangible assets for enabling an enterprise's creation and technology. Patent knowledge management is a time consuming task that often dominates the valuable time of R&D staff. This research develops an intelligent recommendation methodology and system for efficient and effective patent search. The system provides an algorithm...

Enterprises evaluate intellectual property rights and the quality of patent documents in order to develop innovative products and discover state-of-the-art technology trends. The product technologies covered by patent claims are protected by law, and the quality of the patent insures against infringement by competitors while increasing the worth of...

Many companies rely on patent engineers to search patent documents and offer recommendations and advice to R&D engineers. Given the increasing number of patent documents filed each year, new means to effectively and efficiently identify and manage technology specific patent documents are required. This research applies a back-propagation artificial...

Patent documents are unique external sources of information that reveal the core technology underlying new inventions. Patents also serve as a strategic data source that can be mined to discover state-of-the-art technical development and subsequently help guide R&D investments. This research incorporates an ontology schema to extract and represent...

Nowadays many companies rely on patent engineers to search patent documents and offer recommendation and advice to R&D engineers. Given the great number of patent documents, new means to effectively and efficiently identify and manage the technology-specific patent documents are required. This research applies back-propagation artificial neural net...

Engineering and research teams often develop new products and technologies by referring to inventions described in patent databases. Efficient patent analysis builds R&D knowledge, reduces new product development time, increases market success, and reduces potential patent infringement. Thus, it is beneficial to automatically and systematically ext...

The common maintenance methods in the electrical power system relies on the emergent maintenance and periodic maintenance, which is lacking to avoid the equipment shutdown. To enrich the maintenance efficiency and system benefit, this reseach uses the electrical power systems as case example to propose a negotiation model of collaborative maintenan...

Patent documents are an ample source of innovative, technical and commercial knowledge. Thus patent analysis has been considered a useful vehicle for R&D management and knowledge sharing. However, the number of patents in recent years has expanded noticeably. It is a challenge to interpret the knowledge contents and their relationship between paten...

In recent years, many technical disciplines systematically develop standardized ontology that domain experts agree upon and apply to share and annotate information in their fields. The formal ontological representation facilitates R&D knowledge sharing and re-use by both knowledge workers and application systems. In this research, a system engineer...

With the rapid increase of patent documents, patent analysis becomes an important issue for creating innovative products and reducing time-to-market. A critical task for R&D groups is the analysis of existing patents and the synthesis of existing product knowledge. In order to increase knowledge visibility and sharing among R&D groups, a conconcurr...
