Abstract
As the technology development of enterprises is becoming more and more intense, the amount of patents is growing rapidly. Various patent indexes have been developed and used to evaluate the quality of patents as well as the quantity of patents, but it is difficult to assess the overall level of patents. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of patents held by companies by using principal component analysis (PCA) so that various aspects of patents should be measured objectively. We appraised the patent competitiveness of major 129 Korean companies analyzing patent information such as patent index values by PCA. Through this, companies can grasp the level of their patents compared to competitors in the same industry, and the government will be able to utilize them in establishing nationwide technology policies.
