| Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 工業工程與系統管理學研究所 === 99 === With the fierce competition in the era of knowledge-driven economy, cheap manufacturing cost could no longer secure companies’ competitive advantages while it is more important to execute the patent analysis to assist manager and technical staffs realize the state of the art or patent portfolio of the competitor. One the one hand, analyzing patent information could assist the upgrade of technical ability. One the other hand, it can also help to minimize the risk of patent infringement. Only through efficient and effective patent search can we get the exact and immediate patent information for further development.
The foundation of this study is to use the target patent that had already been indentified to pre-build the sample databases to perfect the current searching method and developing a new patent search process could make the whole process more efficient and effective. Meanwhile, in the case study of intelligent vacuum cleaner industry, we illustrate how to do patent search with the new process. Finally, we conclude the trend of technical development from the patent information that we identified to provide insight for business managers for possible business strategy development.
