- Abstract
The past 15 years (1995-2009) witnessed an annual growth of the literature on patent indicators. However, no research was done to examine the patent indicators systematically and comprehensively. This paper reviewed the literature and current application of patent indicators in Taiwan to provide references for the future revision, application, and studies. The researchers first searched the literature using the expert keywords group; then studied the key literature by content analysis, such as using statistics to compare the publications and the application of patent indicators in industries. The findings are as follows: 1. The ways that patent indicators have been used are various and researchers usually combine multiple indicators to use. 2. The study on patent indicators in Taiwan needs to be improved in terms of quantity. 3. There are seven major research teams dedicated to the study of patent indicators in Taiwan. 4. the relationship is not significant between the usage of patent indicators and the financial performance of industries. 5. Comparing with private universities, the state-owned universities obtained 73% of government support for the research of patent indicators. 6. The empirical studies on patent indicators in industries are relevant to the government high-tech policy planning. 7. Bibliometrics is a valid method to study patent information. This research is the first one to use statistics to analyze the literatures of patent indicators. Since it includes more than one industrial evidence, it provides valuable references for the future studies.
