電信競爭與專利策略之研究 / A Study on Telecom Competition and Patent Strategy

專注於科技創新並將之轉化為智慧財產權的應用,可說是通訊產業競爭的關鍵因素;專利不但是通訊科技演變與進步的註腳,也相當程度地解釋了為什麼Ericsson與Nokia之所以屹立不搖,為何Qualcomm得以崛起,為何Ericsson與Sony要合資成立索尼愛立信,又為何NTT DoCoMo的i-mode得以成為今日全世界最成功的無線上網服務,而Lucent與Siemens又為什麼無奈地逐漸淡出市場?答案就是科技的創新與管理!

本研究試圖在既有的競爭與策略的理論上,以專利為核心,來探討電信事業如何在飽和的行動通訊市場,透過專利的取得,獲致先進的技術,進入新市場,以強化自身競爭優勢;進而藉由授權及執行之策略運用,佈建專利保護網,排除競爭對手進入市場;同時利用專利創造公司財富、提高股東價值,並可作為併購、合資等談判籌碼,以達到產業控制等目的。

因此,本論文即在探討電信事業如何運用專利策略,以創造績效,項目如下:
一、探討電信事業的專利現況並做案例分析。
二、探討電信事業如何運用其專利,並結合運用國內、外專利策略的理論。
三、訪談電信事業經理人,探討專利如何從行銷、技術與法律面達成公司目標。
四、探討電信事業如何利用專利作為談判籌碼,以便在各種交易中取得優勢。

本文以圖表方式呈現台灣五個主要電信事業的專利現況,先依據各業者申請中華民國、美國以及中華人民共合國之專利項目與數量,比較何者擁有最多專利權;進而探討其是否也相對的具有最強的競爭優勢。並以實際案例呈現台灣主要電信事業發生之專利糾紛,及其如何研擬與執行專利策略,並與理論作如何之結合。

從本研究之實際案例與專利策略模型得之,企業應該在平時就體認專利不只是技術部門或法律部門的業務,公司高階主管更要認知專利策略與公司的行銷策略或財務目標是緊密結合的。尤其應該要求專業經理人將專利資產視為「企業家精神」的一環來重視與培養,如此一來,專利策略的成本效益就得以自然顯現,並與公司的行銷策略與營運目標相互結合。

關鍵字:電信、產業鏈、專利、策略、專利策略、專利分析 / Focusing on innovation and make it a strategy of IPR is one of the sustainable factors of telecom operation in such a fierce competition. Why Nokia and Ericsson keep their competitiveness ? Why NTT DoCoMo and its i-mode are so successful ? Why Lucent and Siemens both fall behind from their telecom competitors ? The same reason in common is technology innovation and management.

Patent strategy primarily includes 3 parts,which are obtaining patent rights, creating patent value, and enforcing them. Patent strategy should run with Marketing strategy so as to apply patents as an isolating mechanism to deterrent other competitors, and to leverage patents to maximize income or using patents as bargaining chips to strengthen companys’ position in dealing with the third parties, as well as to defend themselves against patents owned by others. As a result, patent decisions become sources of dynamic capabilities in the never ended competition.

In this paper, 2 qualitative analysis researches are presented. First, there are several patent award lists of Taiwan’s three major mobile companies breaking down by ROC, USA and PRC respectively. Secondly, 5 in-depth interviews with 4 high rank managers of Fareastone and it patent law firm were made to show how FET perform it patent strategy against a service product made by another mobile company and software company.
This thesis is to provide telecom companies with a successful case study in formulating a patent strategy and expects to raise the suggestion for managers in telecom industries regarding the strategic importance of patents and patents management should be part of the “Entrepreneurship”.
