| Abstract: | In recent years, patenting has been considered one of the
major drivers for enhancing national competitiveness and most of the advanced
countries have been more actively enforcing patent protection. However, the
indicators proposed in previous studies have not been able to deal adequately
with the various dimensions of patenting, rather focusing on patent application
counts. Therefore, in this research, a comprehensive patent performance indicator
is proposed to provide a yardstick by which government policymakers can
evaluate the whole process of converting patents into economic assets. The
detailed steps of this research include: opting for the dimensions – creation,
administration, utilization and environment (also the most emphasized in the
prior studies) – in order to derive individual indicators; proposing a
composite patent performance indicator by adopting the corresponding weights
for each indicator calculated from the AHP method; and finally demonstrating
the differences between the proposed indicator and the previous count-based
patent indicator, and comparing the results for the 30 OECD countries. |
