Patent Indicators of Global Technology Strategy

9302340 莫吉 为了在当今技术变革和全球竞争的环境中具有竞争力，企业需要制定和遵循明智的技术战略。 为了作出重要的决定，具体的技术战略将是最佳的后续，一个公司需要可靠的信息来回答的问题，如：如何快速和有效地可以开发和建立在新的技术创新，在其行业相对于其竞争对手，以及如何有效的是该公司在挪用其研发工作的好处，并扣留这些好处从别人？ 第一阶段小企业创新研究（SBIR）研究的结果为使用专利引用数据作为帮助企业评估自身技术能力和竞争对手技术能力的宝贵工具奠定了技术基础。 第二阶段研究的目标是：（1）证明建立一个专利引文数据库的可行性，该数据库可以方便地、经济有效地满足技术管理人员的分析需求;（2）扩展第一阶段开发的引文模型，使其能够作为一个可靠的工具，用于（a）纠正引文数据以进行审查和（B）预测未来的引文水平;（3）使用这些原型工具来检验引文模式与公司技术战略之间假设关系的有效性。 该项目旨在为制定和评估公司技术战略提供分析工具，包括专利引用数据库和方便用户的搜索和分析软件、咨询服务和出版物。 该项目解决了需要了解专利引用，公司的技术战略和经济绩效之间的相互关系。 该项目将利用这些知识作为其对美国经济竞争力的未来贡献的基础，也就是说，为制定和分析对公司和投资者有价值的公司技术政策提供有用的分析工具。 ***

9302340 Mogee To be competitive in today's environment of technological change and global competition, firms need to develop and follow sagacious technology strategies. In order to make important decisions regarding which particular technology strategies would be optimal to follow, a firm needs reliable information to answer questions such as: how quickly and efficiently can its R&D department develop and build on new technological innovations in its industry relative to its competitors, and how effective is the firm at appropriating the benefits of its R&D efforts and withholding those benefits from others? Results of the Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) study establish the technical basis for using patent citation data as a valuable tool for helping firms evaluate their own technological capabilities and those of their competitors. The objectives of the Phase II research focus on (1) demonstrating the feasibility of constructing a patent citation database that meets technology managers' analytical needs easily and cost-effectively; (2) extending the citation model developed in Phase I to the point where it can function as a reliable tool for (a) correcting citation data for censoring and (b) predicting future citation levels; and (3) using these prototype tools to examine the validity of hypothesized relationships between citation patterns and the technology strategies of companies. The project aims to provide analytical tools for developing and assessing corporate technology strategies, including patent citation databases and user-friendly search and analytical software, consulting services, and publications. The project addresses the need to understand the interrelationships among patent citations, the technology strategies of companies, and their economic performance. The project will use this knowledge as the basis for its contribution to the future of US economic competitiveness, that is, to make available analytical to ols useful for formulating and analyzing corporate technology policies that will be valuable to companies and investors. ***
