專利布局之指標分析-以台積電為例
Analyzing TSMC patent strategies by Patent Index
摘要
台灣積體電路製造股份有限公司仍位居全球規模最大的積體電路製造公司，其產品被廣泛的應用於電腦、通訊、工業、消費性及其他的電子產品等多項領域之中。近年來，專利資訊在發展產業中所扮演的角色越來越重要，台積電也非常重視此議題，而專利指標也成為分析公司專利資訊的重要參考資料。 因此，本研究將應用專利指標與分類號進行分析與研究台積電的專利，並從研究中得知，台積電原來申請專利技術領域較為集中，技術研發聚集在特定領域裡；但近年來由技術領域與申請日結合分析發現，台積電後期專利申請之技術領域開始有向外延伸的情況，顯示了台積電研發方向改變的現象。 再由專利成長率計算結果得知，相較於前期，後期的專利申請及獲證量有大幅度的成長。並由即時影響指數(Current Impact Index, CII)結果得知，台積電在特定技術領域均未達到該平均值1，顯示了台積電在特定領域裡的技術影響程度並不高。又由普遍及原創性計算結果，台積電研發之應用比較不廣，創意尚可。最後由上述分析結合台積電與其它廠商的合作資訊，綜觀分析台積電在專利上的策略模式。
並列摘要
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is the world’s largest pure-play semiconductor foundry. TSMC's manufactured products are used in a broad spectrum of applications, such as computer, communications, consumer electronics, and other electronics. In recent years, the patent information plays high stake more important role of the industrial development, TSMC is also take in intellectual property theme. The patent indexes become the important benchmark to evaluate the patent information. Therefore, this study applied the patent indexes, IPC and USPC to analysis TSMC's patent, and discovered that TSMC's technology was very concentrated in specific fields. But in the early stage combine applications day and patent classification, we found that TSMC started to expand more technological fields. TSMC patent growth rate had obviously increased by Patent Growth Percent in Area results. We also discovered that TSMC technical influence was below average through Current Impact Index calculate analysis. Generality and originality indexes results showed that TSMC research application field was not too broad and creativity was about average, In the end, this study combined TSMC cooperative partners and IP analysis to obtain TSMC's strategy model.
