| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 企業管理學系研究所 === 92 === Firms acquire technologies through internal R＆D and/or technology licensing from external sources. Taiwanese firms had a long history of paying technology licensing fees and thus Taiwan suffer long-term deficit in technology trading. This study is intended to discuss the factors how to influence restrictive clauses, and this research adopts to AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process )method , thus this study decides to research about restrictive clauses’ content of technology licensing behavior, as well as test the differences of industries how to influence signing restrictive clauses.
Empirical findings include that(1) the large part content of restrictive clause are licensing scope, because licensor in order to protect licensing scope of the technology, as well as prevent licensee from sublicensing, result in lowering technology value. (2)Via the regression analyses the result detects, the opposite sum of asset negotiate to the restrictive clauses without the obvious impact, the opposite patent number , absorptive ability, expected sales and time have the obvious impact. Restrictive clauses in technology licensing contracts vary significantly and significant difference exists in clause application across industries. Empirical results of this research suggest that Taiwanese firms should be cautious in negotiating technology licensing contracts, especially restrictive clauses that carries strategic content, less firms should suffer future technological dependence and strategic inflexibility.
