Using patents to gain the upper hand in innovation

Introduction

Both the high-tech and traditional industrial sectors are increasingly focusing on patent analysis while many companies are making patents part of their core assets. The importance of patent analysis rests in mapping out the direction of technological development. Patent analysis helps to break through many obstacles in R&D, developing new rooms for successful inventions, reducing R&D expenses, and thus boosting international competitiveness. ITRI College has introduced a comprehensive patent analysis curriculum which makes use of charts and other tools to transform complicated patent information into practical, accessible knowledge. This helps industry to cut R&D costs and produce more valuable patents.

Dr. Hsu You-geng, Vice President and General Director, ITRI Technology Transfer Center Stay on top of patent opportunities In this era of wafer thin margins, battles over patents and intellectual property are emerging. However, there is an opportunity to be in the forefront of establishing business models for patents domestically. Patents are becoming a focal point of operations for companies. Commercializing intellectual property developed by R&D personnel is an important mission for ITRI. Patenting newly developed technologies gives a company a means to quickly establish a foothold in its industry and market.
