摘要

近些年來，專利實施毫無疑問地是一種策略性武器，可以提高企業的競爭力。對於大多數知識型產業而言，專利申請是典型的法則，極少有實證研究挑戰這個鐵律。本研究提出強而有力的證據，藉由專利申請歷史與專家的證詞顯示專利在某些情況下是無用的。專利的排他權保護發明人與其權利人，由此揭開了知識經濟的序幕。某些專利所有者藉由主張他們的權利而獲益豐富，進而增加資源投入發明活動。對那些飽受專利訴訟困擾的企業來說，創造一些新奇事物並將其申請為專利是一種不可避免的政策。雙方都不能失去效率，進而促成科技創新的速度。本文論斷，在特定的情況下，太快的創新研發效率可能會傷害專利的保護能力。

Undoubtedly, patent enforcement is a strategic weapon to increase competitiveness for enterprises in past years. Patent filing seems a typical rule for most of knowledge-based Industries, only few of empirical studies challenge this discipline. This paper offers a strong evidence to show the uselessness of patent, at some special status, by patent filing history and testimony of witnesses. The exclusive rights of patent protect inventors and it assignees, then reveal the prelude of Knowledge-based economy. Some patent holders benefit greatly by arguing their rights, and then invest more resources into invention activities. For those enterprises who struggle against patent suite, inventing something and filing them as patents are inevitable policies. Each side can't loss their efficiency, so technology innovation speeds up. For a certain circumstance, super efficiency of invention hurts the protection of patent, so we concluded.
