碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 資電碩士在職專班 === 103 === Due to the success of smart phones and other smart devices, widespread adaptation of mobile camera units has become standardized practice for cellular devices, even those non-smartphone devices. Simultaneously, the importance of patents is rising rapidly as emerging markets such as China, have begun to show tremendous growth in its domestic market and become aware of the impact of intellectual properties on market dominance. As the market for smart devices grows larger and ever, relative technologies involved have become important competitive advantages for companies in this industry, such as technologies for touch panel, wireless modules, core processing units (SoC, System-on-Chip), and even camera units. In this paper, we will discuss the importance of patents in recent years. At the same time, the relative lower cost part of a camera unit, such as lens unit, has also become a hot commodity in this smart device boom market. Due to larger revenues of lens unit sales, patent protection has also been ramped up in an unprecedented rate. We will be examining these mobile lens patents and the unique claim writings of these patents and how they affect the execution of patent infringement. Furthermore, we will attempt to use the analysis of mobile lens patent to construct a brief patent infringement check model for mobile lens manufacturers. In conclusion section, we will discuss the accuracy and limitations of this patent check system.
