專利資訊的分析對企業競爭情報與產業發展扮演著關鍵性的角色,但在過去有關專利分析的研究文獻中,缺乏客觀且量化的方法,將專利分析相關文獻予以分類,以作為業界管理者或學界研究者,在找尋資料、訂定研究主題、或選擇研究方法上之參考依據。因此,本文將以專利分析運用於管理方面的文獻作為研究對象,文獻發表期間從1980至2003年,期能以客觀量化的方法來整理分析過去文獻,以主要文獻問相互引證的關係來進行分類。本文之貢獻可分文下列三項:1.瞭解專利分析文獻之概況,包括年度、作者、期刊、及引證之現況與趨勢;2.歸納出專利分析文獻之群組,並瞭解每一群組之研究主題;3.作為後續文獻網絡分析及演化研究之基礎。
Analyzing patent information is significant to competitive intelligence and industrial development. However, it is lack of subjective and quantitative method to classify relevant articles of patent analysis in earlier publications. This study is built a bibliometric taxonomy framework to retrieve data, define research topics, and select research methods for organizational management and academics. Prior literatures are systematically analyzed by subjective and quantitative methods and targeted on management articles of patent analysis application during 1980 to 2003. Each target literatures are grouped by co-citation techniques. The major contributions of this study are addressed into three points. Firstly, understanding current state of patent analysis articles, including year, author, periodical, current situation and future trends of citation relationship. Secondly, synthesizing the group of relevant articles and extracting each group topics. Thirdly, the result is the basis of following networking and evolutional researches.
