本文以1991年至2012年為觀察期間,蒐集臺灣在美國專利商標局申請經核准專利前10名的半導體專利資料,探討臺灣與其他14個國家在此10項半導體技術專利合作的決定因素,並以卜瓦松擬概似法進行分析。實證結果顯示,共同語言、首都距離、專利保護程度、外國擁有專利數、進口比例、外人直接投資及技術相似度對臺灣半導體技術的國際專利合作為正向影響,而臺灣擁有專利數、臺灣勞動力與外國勞動力對臺灣半導體技術的國際專利合作為負向影響。
By using the panel data of 14 countries over the period of 1991-2012, this study explores the possible determinants of international patent cooperations in the Taiwanese semiconductor industry. The empirical results from the Poisson Pseudo Maximum-Likelihood analysis of an augmented graviety model show that the impacts of common language, capital distance, the strength of patent protection, foreign-owned patents, import, foreign direct investment and technological proximity on patent cooperations are positive, while the numbers of Taiwanese-owned patents, labor forces in Taiwan and foreign all negatively influence the patent cooperation.
