산학협력 파트너 탐색에 관한 연구: 소멸 특허분석 중심으로

In today's knowledge-based society, industry-university cooperation(IUC) is recognized as an effective route for technological innovation. Many studies show that selecting the right partner is essential for the success of the IUC. There have been several quantitative studies using patent analysis to select strategic partners, but most of them are limited to registered patents. However, most patents held by universities have expired. The purpose of this study is to analyze live and expired patents held by universities among the factors influencing the search for partners for IUC and to analyze and verify partner selection. To this end first, exclusive patents held by universities related to electric vehicle batteries were collected, and second, the possibility of using the university's expired patents was confirmed through value verification. Third, optimal partner candidates for live and expired patents were selected using the patent index, and to verify the finally derived partner candidates, a questionnaire was administered to company experts with experience in collaboration. From a theoretical viewpoint, the results of this study suggested a value for patents whose rights have expired and a method to locate partners. It is expected to assist the search for cooperative partners from the universe of inventors and applicants for patents.
