Abstract
This research is aimed at identifying the trend of technology and time emergence of the dominant design of inkjet printer and NC machine by using F-term in Japanese Patent. F-term was employed instead of International Patent Classification (IPC) because of the multi view point of the theme and it provides the certain technical area. The firm‘s product entering time to the market was evaluated to the S curve of the product lifecycle and technology life cycle was also investigated.
Highlights
In global competitiveness, it is important to make a long-term strategic decision in research and technology development
We propose the patent information analysis method using the F-term as Japanese patent classification code
The trend of technology was evaluated by using the theme code of F-term in Japanese Patent Classification
Summary
It is important to make a long-term strategic decision in research and technology development. The potential direction of technology development and innovation can be determined by forecasting the trend of technology Forecasting technology is difficult because most of the forecasting method was using the expert subjective experience Most of the previous study was only depicted the current condition, not describing the future trend of technology Some related studies of technology trend analysis and forecasting application to predict the future technology development were conducted
