智慧財產權為政府鼓勵知識創新者公開其研究成果所給予的獨佔權利。這些公開的資訊便稱之為「智慧財產權資訊」，內含了人類超過90%的智慧結晶。是以企業妥善運用這些資訊可以節省許多研發的時間及金錢，並加快取得智慧財產權的速度。 　　智慧財產權資訊服務的提供可視為一種加值的過程，從數量龐大的原始資料檢索、分析，甚至提供軟體工具的協助，都是內涵相當專業。本研究將其稱之「智慧財產權資訊服務業」。 　　本研究為一初探性研究，企圖藉由廣泛的文獻收集與深度訪談，勾勒本產業在台灣的發展現況、上下游價值鍊、與其他技術商品化服務業的關係、以及未來發展的策略。為有效的觀察六個訪談個案，本研究參照了相關文獻，訂定產品組合與目標市場、價值活動與核心能力、組織與人事管理、專業行銷與客戶管理、策略聯盟與併購五個項目作為觀察指標。 　　本研究之研究個案包括：亞太智慧財產權發展基金會、亞太智財科技服務股份有限公司、連穎科技股份有限公司、元勤科技股份有限公司、識權科技股份有限公司、台灣智財股份有限公司。 　　本研究發現：目前台灣本產業廠商均為近幾年成立的新創企業，屬於知識密集型產業。產業的最上游為各國智慧財產權主管機關的資料庫，本產業部分廠商將其加值提升其方便性、對於重要資料加以翻譯或分析、或是協助廠商監視新增專利。在資料庫獲得加值後，部分廠商提供檢索服務，並以此為基礎提供研究發展、侵權訴訟、技術移轉之用。 　　本研究對於本產業發展的建議為：透過顯示其專業的方式教育使用者，並與相關技術商品化服務業合作以擴大其營業規模。同時本研究也建議政府提升本國智財權資料庫的水準、並協助民間業者使用其他國家之智財權資料庫。 / Intellectual Property Right (IPR) is a monopoly right for a period of time that governments encourage innovators to disclose their innovation. The published information is called “Intellectual Property Right Information” which included over 90% humans’ intellectual innovation, and companies may use the information to save money and time in R&D. 　　The usage of IPR Information can be seen as a value-added process, and it requires professional service providers to search and analyze useful information from IPR database and to design useful tools for their clinets. 　　The aim of this exploratory research is to study the professional service sector in Taiwan by wide data-collecting and interviews. For observing the current status, the value chain, the cooperation with other service providers, and the developing strategy, this research uses product mixes and targeted markets, value-added activities and required knowledge, organization and human resource management, professional marketing, strategic alliance and merger and acquisition as five indexes. 　　The cases in this research include Asia Pacific Intellectual Property Association, Asia-Pacific Technology and Intellectual Property Services, Inc., LearningTech Inc., IP Tech Inc., Su Cheng (Knowing Power) Inc., and IP Era Inc. 　　This research finds out that all the cases are srtart-up, and knowledge-intensive. The most upstream is the databases built by governments and this sector dilutes, monitors and translates these databases, or enhances the convenience. Some companies in this sector provide IPR search and analysis services, and the results may be useful for R&D, IPR lawsuit, or technology transfer. 　　This research suggests that this sector should enlarge the market by educating their customers with professional services and cooperating with other technology commercializing service companies. In the mean time, Taiwanese government may consider to enhance its IPR database and to assist local companies to utilize other IPR databases around the world.
