By analyzing the relevant patent data, the technological competitiveness of enterprises can be objectively evaluated, and the research and development priorities and the technological advantages and disadvantages of each enterprise in the same field can be compared and analyzed. It is considered to be helpful in judging the patent strategy, innovation ability, and the innovation level of enterprises, which is of great practical significance. Based on the field of the ship-integrated power system as an example, considering the Derwent patent holder code, draw the integrated technical strength of ships in the field of the distribution power system; using the ideas of the Boston matrix to measure the field has the competitive advantage of enterprises; by using the social network analysis method for each enterprise, the core technology of mining, based on the S curve of the technology life cycle, analyzes the enterprise concentration each time in order to predict the future trend of development. It can be found that China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation has the largest number of patents, followed by Fuji Electric Co. Ltd, International General Electric, Daewoo shipbuilding ocean engineering Co. Ltd and so on. Considering the patent quantity and the patent quality, the dominant and productive enterprises in this field can be distinguished. The ship-integrated power system and its related core technologies have been rapidly growing at present. The related technology patents will increase rapidly in the next few years, and more and more enterprises will participate in this field.
通过分析相关专利数据,可以客观评价企业的技术竞争力,并对比分析同一领域内各企业的研发重点、技术优势和劣势。这被认为有助于判断企业的专利战略、创新能力和创新水平,具有重要的现实意义。以船舶综合电力系统领域为例,考虑德温特专利持有者代码,绘制出配电系统领域船舶的综合技术实力;利用波士顿矩阵的思路,衡量该领域具有竞争优势的企业;通过社会网络分析方法,对每个企业进行核心技术挖掘,基于技术生命周期的 S 曲线,分析企业每次集中的情况,以预测未来的发展趋势。可以发现,中国船舶重工集团公司拥有最多的专利,其次是富士电机株式会社、通用电气国际公司、大宇造船海洋工程有限公司等。考虑到专利数量和专利质量,可以区分出该领域的主导和生产型企业。目前,船舶综合电力系统及其相关核心技术正在快速发展。相关技术专利在未来几年将迅速增加,越来越多的企业将参与这一领域。
