美國專利市場新興中介者之研究 -以美國高智為案例探討- / A Study on the Emerging Intermediates in the United States Patent Market –A Case Study on Intellectual Ventures–

知識經濟時代,企業為了維持競爭地位,重視技術與專利,原是為防止特定企業技術被複製或模仿。可是因為科技創新研發產品生命週期縮短、產品所涵蓋的專利權量多而複雜、與專利法規制度設計等因素,專利市場也因此而活絡,專利中介者的價值就此產生。專利中介者的存在使企業得以開放式之創新模式,進行組織內外部技術交流,為節省交易成本的種種問題,以及避免侵權爭議,專利中介經營型態開始多樣化,並隨著時間演進,不同型態的營運效益也開始呈現差異。過去中介者偏重於攻擊訴訟、防禦功能、移轉買賣,然而現今最大的專利中介者美國高智公司,其營運模式角色演化類型、價值創造,都與舊有的中介者營運模式不同。

本研究以個案研究與文獻整理方式大略了解高智實際運作方式為何。高智已經擁有自己的實驗室,並且積極與研究單位合作提供研發預算,不同於其他專利事業體被動防禦、積極主張的角色,高智創造出與客戶發展長期的合作關係價值,高智發揮一般中介者降低交易成本之功能,更是主動引進學術研發使其專利商業化。另外,高智近年來也有主動發起專利訴訟,企圖維護該公司的專利資產價值,高智的營運模式在實際運作上雖未有明確的法律爭議,或許未來可能還是會有相關專利法與競爭法的問題。 / In the era of knowledge economy, entrepreneurs gradually take technologies and patents seriously. Patents have been traditionally used to prevent others from copying or imitating valuable technologies. During the past decade, the market for patent application, licensing and transaction began to grow rapidly. Because of shorter production of life cycle, overlapping set of patent rights, and complicated patent systems, many managers adopt the concept of open innovation. There are many obstacles while trading patents; therefore, patent intermediates are arising. As time goes on, these business models changed a lot. Intellectual Ventures, the brand new largest intermediate company, is regarded as a successful intermediary model with a unique business model attempting to bring more performances to the patent market.

The major purpose of this study is to explore Intellectual Ventures real operation in the patent market. Intellectual Ventures has its own research lab, monetizes new inventions and cooperates with scholar research units. Intellectual Ventures creates a long term relationship with its clients and develops a different role from other traditional patent entities. Intellectual Ventures not only functions as a traditional intermediate to reduce the transaction costs, but also focuses on the commercialization of new patents and scholar ideas. But recently Intellectual Ventures has been involved in some civil legal activities to assure its own patent asset values, revealing that in the future the practice of Intellectual Ventures business can possibly cause some legal disputes about civil patent activities and antitrust conducts respectively.
