A Methodology to Analyze Technology Convergence: Patent-Citation Based Technology Input-Output Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research proposes a methodology for patent-citation-based technology input-output analysis by applying the patent information to input-output analysis developed for the dependencies among different industries. For this analysis, a technology relationship matrix and its components, as well as input and technology inducement coefficients, are constructed using patent information. Then, a technology inducement coefficient is calculated by normalizing the degree of citation from certain IPCs to the different IPCs (International patent classification) or to the same IPCs. Finally, we construct a Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) based on the technology inducement coefficient to suggest a useful application for this methodology. Keywords—Technology spillover effect, technology relationship, IO table, technology inducement coefficients, patent analysis, patent citation.

متن کاملPatent Citations as a Measure of Knowledge Flows: the Influence of Examiner Citations
Analysis of patent citations is a core methodology in the study of knowledge diffusion. However, citations made by patent examiners have not been separately reported, adding unknown noise to the data. We leverage a recent change in the reporting of patent data showing citations added by examiners. The magnitude is high: two-thirds of citations on the average patent are inserted by examiners. Fu...

Patented technology as an important technology innovation output, to some extent, can represent the technology capacity of one country or one region, and reflect the level and status of its innovation activities. The citation relationship among patent literatures shows the pattern of acquisition, absorption and re-use of prior technical methods, prototypes and results. The flow of knowledge and...
