在經濟全球化與科學技術急速發展時代背景下，智慧財產權的作用及影響在世界各國愈加明顯。擁有智慧財產權特別是專利權的數量和品質已成為衡量一個國家、地區和企業競爭力及綜合實力的重要指標之一。以前對專利價值的研究主要是經由專利維護續期、市場價值評估、對發明人和受讓人的調查、引證指標作為專利品質的代理指標。另外一種方法是研究專利特徵與專利價值的關係，比如專利是否訴訟、是否繼續維護、是否在多個國家提出申請等。
工業技術研究院〈以下簡稱工研院〉所擁有的專利大部分為承接國家委辦之科技研究計計畫而產出，其專利權之產出、管理及運用攸關國家資源投入是否洽當，科技發展方向是否準確，產業效益可否擴大，國家競爭力可否提升等諸多科技政策，此皆可透過本論文之分析果做為國家未來智慧財產權政策方向及對於研究機構或大學給予科技經費資助之重要參考。
本研究分成兩個子研究，探討專利是否讓售成功與專利指標的關係為何；專利讓與金額與專利指標關係為何。本研究樣本選擇為工研院本身所持有且讓售成功的專利以及與一般讓售不成專利共1,122項專利。其中，2003/1/1至2014/5/8期間，共有610案專利讓售成功。本研究結論如下：影響工研院能讓售成功的專利與專利讓與金額的因素，主要是發明人數越多、專利審查時間越長，請求項數更多的專利，特別是獨立項數。專利被引證數、專利家族大小與專利引證數越多，專利家族強度越強的專利。
最後，本模型為工研院提供了一套專利評價機制。透過此模型工研院可以判別出其所擁有的專利將來讓售成功機率大小與專利讓與金額。由於某些專利特徵是在時間的演進中動態發展的，故建議工研院根據該模型動態更新專利資料庫，以實時監測讓售成功機率的變化，提前判斷出可能讓與的專利。

Under the background of the rapid development of economic globalization and science and technology, the role and influence of intellectual property rights become increasingly prominent in countries of the world. The quantity and quality of possessing intellectual property rights, especially patents, has become one of the important indicators to measure the competitiveness and comprehensive strength of a country, region and enterprise. Previous research on patent value was mainly through patent maintenance renewal, market value assessment, investigation of inventor and transferee and bibliographic indicators as the proxy indices of patent quality and quantity. Another approach is to study the relationship between patent characteristics and patent value, such as whether a patent is litigated, whether it is renewed, and whether it is filed in multiple countries, etc.
Most of the patents owned by the Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwan (hereinafter referred to as ITRI) are produced by undertaking the research and development project commissioned by the government. The output, management and application of the patent rights are related to a series of concerns regarding the investment of national resources: whether the development direction is accurate, whether the industrial benefits can be expanded, whether the national competitiveness can be improved, and many other science and technology policies. The findings of this study are expected to provide important reference for directing the future intellectual property rights policies of the country and for determining and allocating research and development funds to research institutions or universities.
This study is divided into two sub-projects to explore the relationship between the selling success of the patent and the patent index. What is the relationship between patent assignment amount and patent index? The sample of this study was 1,122, including successfully sold and patents not sold, held by ITRI. Among these, 610 patents were sold between January 1, 2003 and May 8, 2014. The conclusion of this study is as follows: the factors that affect the number of patent transaction that were successfully sold by ITRI are the number of inventions, the time of patent examination, and the number of patents claims, especially the number of independent claims. The more the patent backward citations, patent families and patent forward citations, the stronger the patent family strength.
Finally, the model provides a set of patent evaluation mechanism for ITRI. Through this model, ITRI can determine the success probability of future sale and the amount of patent transaction. As some patent characteristics are developed dynamically during the course of technological evolution, it is suggested that ITRI updates the patent database regularly according to the model, so as to monitor the changes of sales success rate in real time and identify the patent that may be transferred in advance.
