碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 104 === The influence of science on technology plays a critical role not only in innovating industries but also in diving a national innovation system. Although studies in the linkage between science and technology have to be reported in the literature, a detailed and specific assessment on such linkage is still not available. Therefore, the objective of this study is to conduct a holistic analysis on how organizations link to scientific research and technological development as a function of time. Patents granted by United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in four periods involving 1994-1998, 1999-2003, 2004-2008, and 2009-2013 had been applied to analyze the related levels of patents to their dynamic interactions with knowledge development. The analysis is based on two patent characteristics, the number of non-patent reference (PR) and number of patent reference (NPR). These results are used to understand how significant the linkage is between science and technology within investigated countries and internationally renowned mobile telecommunication firms. It is concluded that various linkage between science and technology can be classified into four main types including 1) stable, 2) unstable, 3) growth and 4) decline type. This study proposed a way to understand the dynamic impacts of science on technology in different domains, help organizations understand the whole trend and predict the future science-technology development.
