A Study of the Relationship from R&D, Technology Import and Patent Performance: Evidences form Taiwan Listed Electronic Companies

碩士論文[[abstract]]面臨知識經濟時代的挑戰，創新已成為企業競爭優勢之ㄧ。專利不僅是衡量企業創新成果的重要指標和智慧財產權中重要的權利之一，也是發明人從事智力的創造性活動，取得依法享有成果的權利。本研究以2000年至2005年曾在台灣證券交易所上市的電子業公司為研究對象，結合美國專利暨商標局(United States Patent and Trademark Office, USPTO)、台灣經濟新報(Taiwan Economic Journal, TEJ)資料庫資料，利用主成分方法，萃取專利數與專利被引用數為專利績效、R&D支出與研發密度為R&D，並利用分量迴歸模型，探討R&D、技術引進與專利績效關係，研究發現落後二期技術引進是專利績效的影響因素，且會受到產業特性不同影響。此外，資產總額、員工人數、專利發明人數也是專利績效的影響因素。因此，台灣上市電子業公司需妥善分配資源，增加專利，提升企業值。[[abstract]]Facing the challenges of the knowledge economy era, innovations have become one of important competitive advantages of enterprise. Patent is not only a measurement index of innovation achievements and the property rights for a enterprise, but also is a legal right from the creative activities of inventor’s intelligence. The companies listed in Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TSEC) from 2000 to 2005 were chosen as research objects. The quantile regression is used to investigate the relationship among R&D, technology import and patent on United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and Taiwan Economic Journal (TEJ) database. Patent performance is extracted from number of patent and patent citation and R&D is extracted from R&D expenditures and R&D intensity on principle components. The resultants show that the technology import with lag-two-period has effect on patent performance for all industry and also for specialty areas. Meanwhile, total assets, the number of employees and the number of patent inventors also have effect on patent performance. So it is necessary for Taiwan listed electronic companies to allocate proper resources to increase patent for more corporate value
