Description

本発明は、企業価値評価とその判断に関するものである。 The present invention relates to corporate value evaluation and judgment.

従来、特開２０００−３４８０１５号公報のような、財務データに基づいて、経済の変化を反映するように、年１や４半期毎など比較的更新期間が長いデータに基づいた企業評価に、日々変動する株価や金利・為替などのように更新期間が比較的短いデータを用いてその変化を予測し、評価したい時点において適時に対象企業を評価できるシステムが知られている。
また特開２００１−７６０４２号公報には、登録された特許とそれに関連する売上高や利益などを減価償却して、現存している特許の資産価値を把握しようとするものである。また、各特許の価値の評価は、自社評価や他社評価などをランク付けして入力したものを、寄与度として評価する知的財産評価装置が知られている。
金融機関や投資家や企業においては、投資先や取引先の企業価値を見極めることが非常に重要である。そこで、従来、この企業価値を見極めるために、経営・財務や株価などの経営財務情報をもとに、企業価値を客観的に判断しようとする試みが行れ、その中には、多変量解析や統計的手法およびデータマイニングなどの手法を用いて、評価対象となる企業の審査や格付けを行うものが存在している。Conventionally, company evaluation based on data having a relatively long renewal period such as annually or quarterly so as to reflect economic changes based on financial data as in JP 2000-348015 A There is known a system that can predict a change using data having a relatively short update period such as a fluctuating stock price, interest rate, and exchange rate, and evaluate a target company in a timely manner at the time of evaluation.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-76042 seeks to depreciate registered patents and related sales and profits to grasp the asset value of existing patents. In addition, for the evaluation of the value of each patent, there is known an intellectual property evaluation apparatus that evaluates, as a contribution, an input obtained by ranking in-house evaluation or other company evaluation.
For financial institutions, investors, and companies, it is very important to determine the corporate value of investees and business partners. Therefore, in order to determine this corporate value, an attempt has been made to objectively judge corporate value based on management financial information such as management / finance and stock prices, including multivariate analysis. There are those that use the methods such as statistical methods and data mining to examine and rate the companies to be evaluated.

近年、企業価値に占める無形資産（インタンジブル・アセット）の割合が大きくなるにつれ、無形資産の価値が企業価値を大きく左右するようになってきた。しかしながら、一般に企業価値は、総資産＝負債＋株主資本によって表される貸借対照表上の簿価ではなく、大まかには株式の時価総額＋負債によって算定される。したがって、完全な時価会計が適用された場合、株式時価総額−株主資本によって算出される金額が企業の目に見えない資産（無形資産）の妥当性を示しているということになるが、従来は無形資産の価値を具体的に算出して用途に応じて判断することが困難であるという不具合を生じていた。
また、特開２０００−３４８０１５号公報に記載のシステムでは、決算期に公表される財務データのように更新間隔の長いデータ（静的データ）のみならず、株価等のように更新間隔の短いデータ（動的データ）をも入力して企業評価のためのモデルを作成し、このモデルに評価対象の関連する静的データおよび動的データを適用することによって、経時的に変動しうる評価対象の評価項目の評価が適時かつ最新のものとして算出されるとされているが、所定の技術分野における発明が特定企業によって独占状態にあるか、又は競争状態にあるか、発明に関する競争力が絶対的又は相対的にどの程度であるのかを容易に判断することができないという不具合を生じていた。
また、特開２００１−７６０４２号公報に記載の知的財産評価装置では、特許などの知的財産の１件１件の評価を、各年度毎に評価するものであり、企業の価値を判断することができないという不具合を生じていた。
株式時価総額などは、市場における株価によって決定されるものであるため、投資家にとって現在の株価と帳簿上の株主資本によって算出される無形資産の価値が妥当であるか否かは、株式売買の意思決定における極めて重要な要素となっている。企業では、資金を調達して技術開発などを継続して行なうことによって、無形資産価値の増大を図り、企業価値を高めることを望んでいる。したがって、無形資産価値の増大は企業において経営戦略上の重要課題と位置付けられている。
このように無形資産の価値評価手法の確立が喫緊の課題となっているのであるが、無形資産は、特許や商標などの工業所有権や著作権などの知的財産権の他、ブランドやノウハウなどの目に見えない多様な資産によって構成されているため、その価値を評価することは容易ではない。
このことに鑑みて、従来から無形資産を評価しようとする試みがあるが、無形資産の価値を定量的・定性的に取り込んで企業価値の妥当性を評価することができないという不具合を生じていた。

However, in general, the corporate value is calculated not by the book value on the balance sheet represented by total assets = liabilities + shareholders' equity, but roughly by the market capitalization of the shares + liabilities. Therefore, when full market value accounting is applied, the amount calculated by the market capitalization-stockholders' equity shows the validity of an invisible asset (intangible asset). There has been a problem that it is difficult to calculate the value of an intangible asset specifically and judge it according to the usage.

以下に、製造販売利益について説明する。
会計基準の改定により２０００年３月期以降の決算において、研究開発費は原則として全額費用として計上することが義務付けられた。従来、製造費用や一般管理費に含まれる研究開発費を内訳として開示していない企業が多数存在したが、この規則施行以降、損益計算に係わる研究開発費の額が明確となった。これを受けて、ここでは企業の研究開発費の実態を多角的に分析する目的で、「製造販売利益」と名づける指標を開発した。これは、営業利益に研究開発費を加算することにより求められる仮定の利益額（研究開発活動を除く本業すなわち製造販売活動が生み出した総利益額）を試算したものである。この試算額は、研究開発費が全て費用として計上されることにより、損益計算上、研究開発活動を積極化するほど営業利益は圧縮されることになるため、技術開発（知的財産）の重要性が議論されるなか、営業利益の観点のみからでは企業の収益性に関する実態は掴み難いという問題にひとつの視点を与えるものと思われる。本指標は概ね売上利益と営業利益の中間に位置付けられる指標であり、これらの指標と同時に用いることにより、企業の収益性をより立体的に把握することが可能となる。
売上利益は、売上高から製造原価を差し引くことで求められる粗利益であるが、研究開発費には製造原価に含まれるものと一般管理費に含まれるものがあるため、厳密な意味では、製造販売利益を売上利益と営業利益の中間に位置する利益指標と言うことはできない。製造販売利益とその他の利益指標の関係を数式で表すと下記の通りである。
製造販売利益＝｛（売上利益）＋（製造原価に含まれる研究開発費）｝
−｛（一般管理費）−（一般管理費に含まれる研究開発費）｝
＝営業利益＋研究開発費の総額
また、以下に製造販売利益研究開発費比率について説明する。
「製造販売利益」に占める「研究開発費」の比率を算出したもので、製造販売活動が生み出した総利益額のどの程度の比率を研究開発費として再投資しているかを見ることができる。この比率は一般にＲ＆Ｄ比率と呼ばれる「売上高研究開発費比率」とは異なった意味合いを持っているものと思われるが、どのような比率が適正水準と言えるのかを検討するための分析など多角的な分析を試みた。
「製造販売利益研究開発費比率」の値は、企業の優劣や良否を比較するためのものではない。本指標は、業種や規模および各企業の経営戦略、営業収益の状況等によって大きく異なる。したがって、同業種・同規模の会社間の相対比較等を行うための参考指標のひとつとして利用可能と考えられる。
また、以下に製造販売利益率について説明する。
「製造販売利益率」は、「製造販売利益」を売上高で除すことによって求めた。したがって、本指標は、研究開発活動を除く本業すなわち製造販売活動が生み出した総利益額の売上高に占める比率を試算したものであり、概ね売上利益率（製造活動が生み出した粗利益の売上比）と営業利益率（研究開発活動を含む本業が生み出した利益の売上比）の中間に位置するものと考えられる。
以下に，時価総額株主資本差額について説明する。
株価によって決定される株式時価総額は、市場における企業価値の評価額といえるため、株式時価総額と帳簿上の株主資本との差額は市場における企業のオフ・バランス資産（資産に計上されない無形資産）の評価額と言うこともできる。今後、我が国の会計制度が時価会計に移行してゆくなかで、この差額の持つ意味は益々重要性を持つと考えられる。なぜなら、完全な時価会計が行われた場合、「時価総額株主資本差額」が０以下（つまりＰＢＲが１以下）の企業は、オフ・バランスの無形資産評価額が０であることを意味するからである。現在の株式市況下で、ＰＢＲが１以下の企業が数多く見られるが、例えば将来に利益をもたらす有用な特許を保有し、不良債権や劣化資産などがない会社の「時価総額株主資本差額」が０以下であるとすれば、市場における過小評価の可能性を指摘することができる。
現在、我が国の会計制度においては、段階的に時価会計への移行が図られつつある途上にあるため、帳簿上の株主資本の額が理論的上の純資産とは異なるので、「時価総額株主資本差額」のみをもって当該企業の市場におけるオフ・バランスの無形資産の評価額を推定しその評価の過小・過大を判断することはできない。
以下に、平均登録所要年数について説明する。
「登録所要年数」とは、出願から特許査定され特許として登録されるまでに要した年数を意味する。「平均登録所要年数（登録年別）」とは、登録統計対象期間の各年に登録された個々の特許が出願から登録までに要した年数の登録年別の平均値を算出したもので、「平均登録所要年数（出願年別）」とは、登録統計対象期間以降出願統計対象期間末までに出願されたものの内、登録統計対象期間末までに登録された個々の特許が出願から登録までに要した年数の出願年別の平均値を算出したものである。
したがって、「平均登録所要年数（出願年別）」は、新たな登録が生じることにより変化（増大）する。なお、審査請求年限の短縮により、２００１年１０月以降の出願に関する「登録所要年数」は大幅に短縮されるものと予測される。

以下に、発明数に基づいて企業を評価する際の各指標について説明をする。
一般に特許出願件数や特許出願に含まれる請求項数などの発明数が多い企業ほど新製品の開発に予算を割り当てており、将来に向けての製品開発が活発で、将来の事業の拡大や収益の向上が見込める企業であると判断することができる。
近年の工業製品は製品そのものの価値を高めるために多くの機能を備えているものが多く、製品の機能や性能に応じて製品開発に要求される技術分野が広がっている。また、開発製品の機能や性能を向上させて競争力を高める設計を行なうと、製品の開発費も高騰するので、多額の資金や人材も必要となる。
新製品開発のために多くの技術的思想の創作をして特許出願をしている企業に開発資金が十分あるならば、特許権を得た際の独占排他権に鑑みて、将来の事業の拡大や収益の向上が見込める企業であると判断できる。
また投資家や銀行は、将来性のある企業に投資を希望し、学生や中途採用の技術者も独創性のある技術力を備えた将来性のある企業での就業を希望する。
本発明では、投資家や銀行、技術者等が、複数の企業の中から、独創性のある技術力を備えた将来性のある企業を探したり、優位性を備える企業を調査する場合の判断基準や、特定の技術分野における発明が競争状態にあるか寡占状態にあるかの判断基準となるいくつかの指標を提供する。
先ず最初に、特定の技術分野に関する発明が各企業均等に出願しており技術が既に競争状態にあるか、又は特定企業が突出して出願しており技術が寡占状態にあるかの判断を行なうことが可能な指標を提供する特許出願ポートフォリオ分析について説明する。
特許出願ポートフォリオ分析では、ＩＰＣサブクラスやキーワード等の技術分野毎に、特許出願や出願の際の請求項数等の発明数を抽出する。
一般に特許出願は、産業上利用することが可能な新規な発明であって、発明の単一性の要件を満たす範囲内の発明について出願するものであるので、特許の出願件数を発明数と考えることも可能である。
また、１つの特許出願の中にも、複数の請求項に分けて新規性のある発明が複数記載されている場合も多い。したがって、特許出願の請求項数をもって発明数と考えることも可能である。特に近年では、一件の特許出願に含まれる請求項数が増大する傾向にある。しかし、一つの特許出願に含まれる請求項数は、技術分野や業種、企業毎にその平均値や傾向が大きく異なることが統計上判明している。したがって、単純に出願件数をもって各企業の特許出願の動向分析や他社との相対評価、技術力分析等を行なうと、場合によっては大きな誤解を招くおそれがあると考えられる。このような理由もあって、本発明の実施例では各企業の特許出願の動向や技術動向を、特許の出願件数と特許出願の請求項数との両面からとらえることとしている。
なお上記の例では、特許の出願件数と請求項数を発明数としたが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、発明数として、特許又は実用新案の登録件数、登録請求項数、審査請求件数、審査請求した請求項数、登録査定件数、登録査定請求項数、拒絶査定件数、拒絶査定請求項数、審判請求件数、審判請求の請求項数などを用途に応じて用いてもよい。
また、更に上記の２つ以上の発明数を組み合わせた値、例えば（登録件数／審査請求数）を用途に応じて用いることも考えられる。
また上記の例では発明の技術分野としてＩＰＣサブクラスを用いる例を示したが、技術情報はＩＰＣサブクラスに限定するものではなく、ＩＰＣのセクション、クラス、サブクラス、メイングループ、サブグループ、Ｆターム、ＦＩ、ファセット、特許文献に含まれるキーワード等の分類を用途に応じて用いてもよい。
また他の発明の分類として、特許出願等の出願日、登録日などの年毎などの分類を用いてもよいし、出願から登録までの年数による分類、審査請求から登録までの年数による分類、登録特許保持期間などの分類を用いてもよい。
なお、以下の例では、技術分野の分類にＩＰＣサブクラスを用い、発明数として特許の出願数や請求項数を用いた計算例を代表例として示す。
図５は、特定企業（ＢＩ社）の特定の年次（２００３年次）における発明数の多い上位の技術分野（Ｈ０５Ｋ、Ｈ０１Ｌ…など）と、その技術分野内での全企業の発明数に占める特定企業（ＢＩ社）の発明数のシェア（割合）と、その所定の技術分野で発明数が各企業間で競争状態にあるか又は寡占状態にあるかを示す寡占情報とを表示する表示例を示す図である。
同図には、算出に用いた発明の年次を表す期間情報と、ＩＰＣサブクラス等の発明の属する技術分野と、特定企業における所定技術分野の特許の企業別技術分野別請求項数及び企業別技術分野別請求項数と、企業別全請求項数に占める企業別技術分野別請求項数（企業別技術分野別請求項数シェア（割合））と、企業別全出願件数に占める企業別記述分野別出願件数（企業別技術分野別出願件数シェア（割合））と、企業別全請求項数と、技術分野の分類数とが示されている。
また同図には、技術分野別全社請求項数に占める企業別技術分野別請求項数の割合（技術分野別企業別請求項数シェア）と、その技術分野における各社の技術分野別企業別請求項数に鑑みて発明数が競争状態であるか又は寡占状態であるかを示す寡占情報とが示されている。
以下の式１に、企業別全請求項数に占める企業別技術分野別請求項数の割合（企業別技術分野別請求項数シェア）を算出する計算式を示す。

以下に、企業別全出願件数に占める企業別技術分野別出願件数の割合（企業別技術分野別出願件数シェア）を算出する計算式を示す。

上記式１及び式２を請求項数及び出願件数に限定せずに、審査請求件数、登録件数、登録請求項数等について発明数として一般化して記載すると、企業別技術分野別発明数シェアは以下の式３として表すことが可能となる。なお、下記の式３では最後に１００を乗算して％表示を可能としているが、１００を乗算せずに割合を算出するようにしてもよい。

次に、技術分野別全請求項数に占める企業別技術分野別請求項数の割合（技術分野別企業別請求項数シェア）を算出する計算式を示す。

上記式４のパラメータを請求項数に限定せずに出願件数、登録件数、登録請求項数等について発明数として一般化して記載すると以下に示す式５に表すことが可能となる。

特定の技術分野における発明数が全社の中で競争状態であるか又は寡占状態であるかを示す寡占情報は、例えば以下の技術分野別ＳＥＩスコア（技術分野別寡占スコア）の計算式に式５を代入して判別し、表示する。

例えば競争状態又は寡占状態を判断する閾値として１０００を用いると、所定の技術分野における発明の競争状態を以下のように区分することができる。
競争状態：技術分野別企業別発明数シェア（ｋａ＝２の場合）＜１０００
寡占状態：技術分野別企業別発明数シェア（ｋａ＝２の場合）≧１０００
本来のＨＨＩ指数とは、Ｈｉｒｓｃｈｍａｎ−ＨｅｒｆｉｎｄａｈｌＩｎｄｅｘの略で「ハーフインダール指数」と呼ばれている指数である。本来ＨＨＩ指数は、任意の製品市場における寡占、分散の度合いを測定するための手法で、市場に参入している企業の持つシェアを２乗した値の総和によって求めらる。
このＨＨＩ指数を発明に当てはめて応用すると、１社が完全独占している場合には、応用ＨＨＩ＝１０，０００という値となり、競争が激しいほどその値は低くなる。本発明では、発明数シェアにＨＨＩ指数を当てはめるとともに、寡占状態または競争状態を判断する閾値を設けている。そして、発明数シェアの応用ＨＨＩ指数が、閾値以上の場合を寡占状態と判断し、閾値未満の場合を競争状態と判断している。
なお、上記の例では発明数シェアに基づく応用ＨＨＩ指数の閾値を、経験的に１０００に設定しているが、閾値は１０００に限定されるものではない。また、市場に参入している企業の技術分野別企業別発明数シェアを２乗する場合に限定されるものでもなく、用途に応じて３乗以上の値を用いてもよい。
発明数を表現する一例として特許出願件数を用いて企業の将来性を判断したり他社と比較したりする場合に、単に出願件数に等の発明数に着目して比較すると、企業の規模を比較することになってしまい、利用者が知りたい情報を得ることができない場合がある。そこで本発明では、特許出願件数や特許出願の請求項数などの発明数全体数からだけでは明らかにならない技術分野別の内訳を、ＩＰＣサブクラス等の技術分野情報を用いて分類して分析している。
また、各社における自社内での内訳分析に加えて、その技術分野における他社のステータスと、その技術分野における発明数の競争状態を表示することによって、競合していると思われる企業全体における調査対象の企業の発明数の位置付けが立体的に把握できるようになる。
例えば特定の企業について出願ポートフォリオ分析を行なった場合に、発明数が多いことにより出願ポートフオリオの上位にランクされた技術分野が、他社を含めた集計の結果寡占状態にあると判断した場合（いずれかの企業が際立って多く発明している場合）であって、当該特定の企業が当該技術分野の発明について相当のシェアを有するとすれば、その特定の企業は当該技術分野において圧倒的な技術的地位を占めていることと認められることになる。
また、ポートフォリオの上位にランクされた技術分野が他社を含めた集計の結果激しい競争状態にあり、その特定の企業が発明について僅かなシェアしか有しない場合は、その特定企業は当該技術分野において現状では優位な状況にないために、競争上の優位性を確保できる可能性のある新たな別のコア領域に退出することを検討するべき状態にあると推測できることになる。
例えば、所定の期間を各年次とし、発明の属する技術分野としてＩＰＣサブクラスを設定し、発明数として請求項数を設定した場合について出願ポートフォリオ分析を行なう例について以下に説明する。
先ず企業評価装置３０は、所定の期間内に出願された全社の公開特許公報について、ＩＰＣサブクラス名と請求項数とを読み出す処理を行なう。
そして、読み出した全公開特許公報に付された全てのＩＰＣサブクラス毎に、請求項数及び出願件数について集計し、企業別技術分野別出願件数と企業別技術分野別請求項数とその上位の分類数とを表示する。
図５に示す例では、所定の期間毎（各年次別など）に上位５位までの所定技術分野（ＩＰＣサブクラス）について、企業別技術分野別請求項数、企業別技術分野別請求項数シェア、企業別技術分野別出願件数、企業別技術分野別出願件数シェアを算出して左半分に表示している。企業別技術分野別請求項数、企業別技術分野別請求項数シェア、企業別技術分野別出願件数、企業別技術分野別出願件数シェアの右横には、前期間の計算結果と比較した場合の増減（例えば前年比）を↑又は↓で表示している。
図５に示す出願ポートフォリオ分析結果の右半分には、各所定技術分野（各ＩＰＣサブクラス）内での技術分野別企業別発明数シェア（図５に示す例では技術分野別企業別請求項数シェア）とその技術分野別企業別発明数シェアの順位、並びに当該技術分野（ＩＰＣサブクラス）の寡占状態（所定の閾値と前記算出した技術分野別寡占スコアとを比較して、所定の技術分野における発明数が特定の企業の寡占状態にあるか、又は、多くの企業による競争状態にあるかを判断する指標）を表記している。特に図５に示す例では、寡占状態を文字で表記し、技術分野別企業別請求項数シェアを棒グラフ及び数値で表記し、寡占状態にあるか又は競争状態にあるかの判断結果を同一の枠内又は隣接する位置に表示している。
次に、図５に示す各計算結果の数値とその意味について説明する。
図５では、ある特定企業（ＢＩ社）の２００３年次の企業別技術分野別請求項数（企業別技術分野別発明数の一形態）は２，５２６項で、ＩＰＣサブクラス（技術分野の一形態）の分類数は５１分類にわたり出願されていることを示している。
このうち、請求項教が多い方から５位までのＩＰＣサブクラスの順位は、１位：Ｈ０５Ｋ（企業別技術分野別請求項数＝７３１項で、自社全請求項数の２８．９４％以下同じ）、２位：Ｈ０１Ｌ（５２７、２０．８６％）、３位：Ｇ０２Ｂ（１８３、７．２４％）、４位：Ｄ２１Ｊ（１３６、５．３８％）、５位：Ｆ０１Ｎ（１２５、４．９５％）である。
これら算出した企業別技術分野別請求項数シェアについて、対応する技術分野別企業別発明数シェア（式６にてｋａ＝２とした場合）を計算してみると、企業別技術分野別請求項数が１位から３位までのＩＰＣサブクラスの全社における技術分野別ＳＥＩスコア（計算式は式６参照）は、何れも１、０００を下回るので競争状態と判別している。
特にＢＩ社は、Ｈ０１Ｌの技術分野別企業別発明数シェアは０．４０％で、順位は第３３位であり、Ｇ０２Ｂの技術分野別企業別請求項数シェアは０．４０％で、順位は４２位である。したがってＢＩ社は、これらの技術分野では技術的な競争がかなり苦しい状況に置かれていることが認められる。
またＤ２１Ｊの技術分野では、ＢＩ社内での企業別技術分野別請求項数の順位は第４位であるが、全企業における発明数の中では、４４．００％の技術分野別企業別請求項数シェアを占めており、その順位は第１位である。技術分野別ＳＥＩスコア（ｋａ＝２とした場合）の値も４４（％）^２＝１，９３６となり（計算式は式６参照）、閾値である１，０００を大きく超えているので、ＢＩ社の寡占状態と判別できる。したがってＢＩ社は、この技術分野の技術開発において圧倒的優位性を保っていると判断することができる。
また、次のＦ０ＩＮの技術分野では、全企業における発明数の中での技術分野別企業別請求項数シェアは２．７０％であり、順位は１１位である。したがって、他社による発明の占有率が高く、ＢＩ社以外の他の企業の寡占状態と判別される。そして、この技術分野でのＢＩ社の技術的競争は苦しい状況に置かれていると判断することが可能である。
上記のように本発明では、特許の企業別技術分野別出願件数や企業別技術分野別請求項数等の発明数だけでは判明しない企業の技術的競争力を、ＩＰＣサブクラス等の技術分野を考慮して分析し、各社の内訳分析に加えてその技術分野における各社のシェアや寡占情報等のステータス、又はその技術分野自体の競争状態を表示することによって、各社の技術開発に関する位置づけが立体的に把握できるようになる。
次に、各年次（各期間等）の企業別全請求項数に占める、各技術分野別（ＩＰＣサブクラス別等）の企業別技術分野別発明数（企業別技術分野別請求項数等）の割合を用いて、所定の技術分野における技術開発の集中、多角化の度合いを表す特許多角化指数（多角化指数の一形態を示す指標）の算出について説明する。なお、以下では特許多角化指数をＰＤＩ（ＰａｔｅｎｔＤｉｖｅｒｓｉｆｉｃａｔｉｏｎＩｎｄｅｘ）と呼び、企業別ＳＥＩ（技術分野別シェア強調率）とともに以下の順序で算出する。
次に、企業別技術分野別発明数シェア（％）を算出する計算式を示す。

次に企業別技術分野別発明数シェア強調率を算出する計算式を示す。

次に、企業別ＳＥＩスコア（企業別寡占スコア又は技術分野別シェア強調率）の定義式を示す。

次に、多角化指数の一形態である、特許多角化指数ＰＤＩ（ＰａｔｅｎＤｉｖｅｒｓｉｆｉｃａｔｉｏｎＩｎｄｅｘ）を定義する計算式を示す。
下記の式では、企業別寡占スコアを１から減算した値に１００を乗算して多角化指数を算出して％表示に感覚的に近い値で表示するようにしているが、１００を乗算せずに１から企業別寡占スコアを減算した値を多角化指数と定義して表示するようにしてもよい。

企業別ＳＥＩスコアを算出する際には、企業別技術分野別発明数シェアをｋｂで冪乗して計算しているので、ｋｂ＝２とした場合において、企業別技術分野別請求項数シェアが１つの技術分野で１００％の場合（１つの技術分野にしか発明が存在しない場合）には、企業別ＳＥＩスコア（最大値）＝１．００となる。
上記の各式に示すように、企業別ＳＥＩスコアを算出する場合には、各技術分野について企業別技術分野別請求項数シェアのｋｂ乗の総和を算出している。この計算式は、式６に示した技術分野別ｎ企業別発明数シェアと似ている計算式であるが、総和を算出する対象が異なるとともに、式７ではこの総和を１から減算することによって、特定の企業における発明が、どのくらいの技術分野にわたってなされているかを表すものである。
式１０を用いて特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）を算出することによって、特定の企業内での発明の多角化の度合いを示すことが可能となる。最後に１００倍しているのは、特許多角化指数の取り得る範囲を０〜１００に設定することによって％表示に近い値として数値を読みやすくするためのものである。
なお式１０に示すように特許多角化指数を算出する際に１から発明数シェアの総和を差し引くことを行なわずに、企業別技術分野別請求項数シェアの冪乗の総和そのものを１００倍して、企業別ＳＥＩスコアを算出するようにしてもよい。この場合には、特定の企業における発明が所定の技術分野に集中してなされている場合には大きな値を示すので、算出した指数を独占化指数又は寡占指数などのように表現するとよい。
また、１００倍することに限定するものではなく、切りの良い数字又はこれらの倍数（例えば、１０や２００、１０００、１００００など）を乗算してもよい。
式６に示した技術分野別ＳＥＩスコアは、大きい値であるほど所定の技術分野で特定の企業が発明を独占している状態（寡占状態）を示し、小さい値を示すほど所定の技術分野で多くの企業が発明を創作している状態（分散状態）を示していた。特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）の場合には、式８示すように、１から企業別ＳＥＩスコア減算して１００倍しているので、その値が１００に近いほどその企業において広い技術分野にわたって発明が多角化していることを示し、その値が０に近いほどその企業において所定の技術分野に発明が集中化していることを示す。
格差指数ｋｂとして、一般にはｋｂ＝２を利用するとよいが、１より大きい冪数を用いることによって各技術分野間のシェアの差をより大きく表現することが可能となる。また、格差指数ｋｂを１より小さい冪数とすると各技術分野間の差を小さく表現することが可能となるものの、各技術分野間のシェアの差が見えにくくなるきらいがあるのであまり好ましくないが、元々のシェアの差が大きすぎる技術分野どうしを比較する場合には、有効に適用できることもある。したがって、調査対象や用途に応じて格差指数を適宜変更するようにしてもよい。
また、特許多角化指数を上記の計算式にて算出して所定の閾値と比較し、特定の企業における発明数が特定の技術分野に集中しているか、又は、多くの技術分野に多角化しているかを表す図形又は文言を用いて多角化の度合いを区分するようにしてもよい。式１０に示した特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）は、企業別技術分野別発明数に基づいて算出したが、企業別技術分野別請求項数や企業別技術分野別出願件数等を用いて算出するようにしてもよい。
技術分野に関する数値としては、公開特許公報等に付与されているＩＰＣサブクラスの主分類を用いてもよい。更に、ＩＰＣサブクラスの副分類を併用するようにしてもよい。その場合には、主分類０．５件、副分類０．５件として均等割に計数してもよいし、ＩＰＣ主分類と副分類とで異なる重み付けをして、例えば主分類０．７件、副分類０．３件などとして計数してもよい。本発明に係る他の指数の計算においても、同様に重み付けを行なってもよい。
図６及び図７に、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）の試算例を示す。
図６に示す計算１は、技術分野別発明数が「Ｈ０１Ｊ」のＩＰＣサブクラスにおいて集中しているＡ企業について特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）を算出した計算例である。
図６に示す計算１では、Ａ企業はＩＰＣサブクラス「Ｈ０１Ｊ」において発明数（特許の請求項数）が１６４と他の技術分野の２倍以上存在するので、Ａ企業の技術開発分野はやや集中しているものと考えられる例を示している。
このＡ企業の請求項数だけを調べてみても、請求項数が所定の技術分野に集中しているのか、あるいは多岐の技術分野にわたって多角化しているのかを知ることは困難である。そこで本発明では、企業別技術分野別の発明数とその総和から企業別技術分野別発明数シェアを算出し、その企業別技術分野別発明数シェアについて格差指数を用いて冪乗して１から減算して１００倍し、特定の企業の技術開発分野の集中、多角化の度合いを示す特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）を算出して、表示することとしている。
したがって利用者は、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）を見るだけで、特定の企業の技術開発分野の集中、多角化の度合いを容易に知ることが可能となり、同一の計算手法を用いて算出した他企業の特許多角化指数と比較することにより、所定の技術開発分野の集中、多角化の度合いを比較することが可能となる。
図６に示す例は、格差指数ｋｂを２とした場合の計算例であるが、図９に示すように格差指数をｋｂ＝３、１．５、０．５と２以外の数値に設定することによって、所定の技術開発分野での集中、多角化の度合いを用途に応じて変更することが可能となる。また、格差指数ｋｂを大きな値にするほど多角化、集中の度合いを極端に表現することが可能となる。
また、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）を算出する際に、年によるバラツキを平準化するために、数年分の発明数などを平均するとよい。ただし、あまり長年の平均を取ると企業自体又は技術分野毎の型の年変化や特徴が没却されて見えなくなるので、望ましくは３年毎の移動平均をとるとよい。図６では一年間の発明数に基づいて演算した結果を示しており、移動平均等の演算は行なってはいないが、その計算は通常実施している手法を用いることが可能であるので、ここでは説明を省略する。
図７に示す計算２は、技術分野別発明数が均等に多角化しているＢ企業について、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）を算出した計算例である。
図７に示す計算２では、Ｂ企業は全てのＩＰＣサブクラスにおいて発明数（特許の請求項数）が７０又は８０と均等に存在するので、Ｂ企業の技術開発分野は多角化していると考えることが可能な例を示している。
このＢ企業における技術開発分野の多角化状況と、Ａ企業の技術開発分野の多角化状況とを請求項数だけから比較することは困難であるが、本発明に係る特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）を算出して表示し対比することによって、利用者は容易に技術開発分野の多角化状況を比較することが可能となる。
図７に示す例は、格差指数ｋｂを２とした場合の計算例であるが、図１０に示すように格差指数をｋｂ＝３、１．５、０．５と２以外の数値に設定することによって、所定の技術開発分野での集中、多角化の度合いを用途に応じて変更することが可能となる。また、格差指数ｋｂを大きな値にするほど多角化、集中の度合いを極端に表現することが可能となる。図６及び図７の計算結果から考察すると、格差指数ｋｂの値は１．５乃至３の間の数値が適切であると思われる。本実施例では説明の都合上ｋｂ＝２とした場合で主に説明する。
図８に、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）の値に基づく多角化の分類例を示す。
特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）は前述のとおり、特定の企業における技術開発分野の集中、多角化の度合いを示すものであるので、単に特許多角化指数としての数値を表示するだけでなく、特許多角化指数の数値に応じた評価情報に変換して型の区分を表示することによって、利用者に対して技術開発分野の集中、多角化の度合いをわかり易く通知することが可能となる。
図８に示す例では、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）の値が９６以上の場合に「超総合型」と区分し、９０以上９６未満の場合に「総合型」、７６以上９０未満の場合に「バランス型」、５０以上７６未満の場合に「集中型」、５０未満の場合に「超集中型」と区分している。
図８に示した特許多角化指数の区分を用いると、Ａ企業はｋｂ＝２の場合の特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）が６３．５であるので型の区分は「集中型」であると判断する。一方のＢ企業は、ｋｂ＝２の場合の特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）が９２．８であるので、型の区分は「総合型」であると判断する。
図８に示した区分は一例であり、格差指数（ｋｂ値）や特許多角化指数の視点を変えた場合には、図８に示した区分とは異なった別の区分を適用するとよい。但し、請求項数とＩＰＣサブクラスを用いて特許多角化指数の計算を行なう場合は、全企業の試算結果から勘案すると図８に示す型の分類が適しているものと思われる。
次に、各年次（各期間等）の技術分野別全発明数（技術分野別全請求項数等）に占める、各企業別の企業別技術分野別発明数（企業別技術分野別請求項数等）の割合を用いて、発明数から見た技術開発競争力の度合いを表す、技術分野別ＳＥＩスコア並びに特許競争力指数の算出について説明する。なお、以下では特許競争力指数をＰＣＰＩ（ＰａｔｅｎｔＣｏｍｐｅｔｉｔｉｖｅＰｏｓｉｔｉｏｎＩｎｄｅｘ）と呼び、技術分野別ＳＥＩスコアとともに以下の順序で算出する。なお特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）は、企業競争力指数に含まれる指数の一形態である。
以下に、技術分野別企業別発明数シェアを算出する計算式を示す。

上記の式１１で算出した（Ｈ０１Ｌ）の技術分野における技術分野別企業別発明数シェアの計算例を図１１に示す。また、（Ｇ０６Ｆ）の技術分野における技術分野別企業別発明数シェアの計算例を図１２に示す
次に、技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩ指数（技術分野別企業別発明数シェア強調率）を算出する計算式を示す。なお、この値を特許競争力指数Ａ（ＰＣＰＩＡ）と定義する。

上記の式１２で算出した（Ｈ０１Ｌ）の技術分野における技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩ指数の計算例を図１１に示す。また、（Ｇ０６Ｆ）の技術分野における技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩ指数の計算例を図１２に示す
特許競争力指数Ａ（ＰＣＰＩＡ）は、技術分野別企業別発明数シェアについてｋａ乗しているので、各社における技術分野別企業別発明数シェアの格差を大きく示すことが可能となる。したがって、格差を大きく表現した方がわかり易い事象に適用すると良い。
次に、技術分野別ＳＥＩスコアを算出する計算式を示す。なお、この値を特許競争力指数Ｂ（ＰＣＰＩＢ）と定義する。

特許競争力指数Ｂ（ＰＣＰＩＢ）は、任意の技術分野（製品市場など）における特定企業による寡占、分散の度合いを測定するための数値であり、所定の技術分野毎に参入している企業の技術分野別企業別発明数シェアをｋａ乗した値の総和によって求める。
技術分野別ＳＥＩ（企業）により求めた各ＩＰＣサブクラスの競争状態（寡占または競争状態を表す技術分野ＳＥＩスコア）と、各社の技術分野別企業別シェアを用いて、特許出願からみた技術開発競争力の度合いを測ったものである。各企業は他社の出願動向を睨みながら自社が開発、出願する技術を見極めている。こうした競争にある市場では、発明に関するシェアの大きな企業が、他社の参入を阻むことができる。しかし、ある企業があるＩＰＣサブクラスにおいてシェア第１位を占めていたとしても、激しい技術開発競争状態にあれば、その企業の位置は確固としたものではない。そこで、ＩＰＣサブクラスの技術開発競争状態を把握するために、参入各社の技術分野別ＳＥＩスコアを算出し、市場性を見ることとした。技術分野別ＳＥＩスコアは各企業のシェアのｋｂ乗を総和して求めるが、その数値が１．００に近づくほど、そのＩＰＣサブクラスは寡占状態にあるといえる。
一般に請求項は発明毎に記載されているので、出願請求項数が多いということは発明の数が多いということを示すが、出願コストの低減を図る目的や特許庁の指導もあって、関連する発明を１つ纏めにして出願する企業が増加してきていることからも、出願件数をベースにして発明の量的計測を行うことは誤解を生む可能性が高くなってきている。また、小幅な改良技術の発明を別々に出願件数を上げるというような恣意的な要素を排除するためにも出願請求項数をベースに計測するのが望ましい。
なお、業種によっても特許出願の規模は異なるため、特許競争力指数の算出における各企業の位置付けを測るに当たっては、直近３年分のデータを合計し、年毎の出願請求項数のばらつきを標準化する事が望ましい。また、業種による出願請求項数の規模の違いに対処するため、規模での比較ではなく、技術分野別企業別発明数のシェアでの比較を行うことがより望ましい事がわかった。
具体的には、ＩＰＣサブクラス分類別に企業の技術分野別企業別請求項数シェア（技術分野別企業別発明数シェア）を算出しその値を、企業の位置付けとする。ＩＰＣサブクラスの技術分類に従って各企業の技術分野別企業別請求項数シェア（技術分野別企業別発明数シェア）をみれば、同じ技術分類においての比較が可能となり業種による企業別技術分野別出願請求項数の規模の違いに左右されなくなる。
本発明では、公開特許公報に付与されているＩＰＣサブクラスの主分類を用いたが、副分類との併用で、主分類０．５件、副分類０．５件として集計してもよいし、主分類と副分類とで異なる重み付けして、例えば主分類０．７件、副分類０．３件などと計数してもよい。
次に、強調ＰＣＰＩ（技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩスコア又はＰＣＰＩＣ）を算出する計算式を示す。

上記の式１４で算出した（Ｈ０１Ｌ）の技術分野における技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩスコアの計算例を図１１に示す。また、（Ｇ０６Ｆ）の技術分野における技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩスコアの計算例を図１２に示す。
強調ＰＣＰＩ（技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩスコア）の指標は、ＩＰＣサブクラスにおける発明数のシェアが大きい場合に、当該企業によって寡占状態が形成されており、この値が大きいほど当該企業が出願している各ＩＰＣサブクラスにおける発明から見た技術開発力の総合力が大きいことが判断できる。
なお、強調ＰＣＰＩの算出における各企業の位置付けを測るに当たっては、直近３年分のデータを合計し、年毎の請求項数のばらつきを標準化する事が望ましい。また，業種による出願請求項数の規模の違いに対処するため、出願の規模での比較ではなく、シェアでの比較を行うことがより望ましい事がわかった。具体的には、ＩＰＣサブクラス分類別に企業の請求項数シェアを算出しその値を、企業の位置付けとする。ＩＰＣサブクラスの技術分類に従って各企業の請求項数シェアをみれば、同じ技術分類においての比較が可能となる。
次に、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）を算出する際に用いる特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）について定義する。

上記の式１５で算出した特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）の計算例を図１３に示す。
各企業における技術開発の活発さは、特許出願請求項数などの発明数の増加のトレンドに見られるとおりである。出願請求項数の規模からだけでは単純比較で優劣を決められない。たとえばある企業の出願請求項数が、全産業の出願請求項数全体の伸び率を上回る成長を遂げている場合には、その企業は市場全体を上回る技術開発力の成長を遂げている可能性が高いと考えることができる。
以下の実施例では、直近３年次における特許の発明数の平均伸び率（特許出願請求項の平均伸び率）を用いているが、当年次における平均伸び率を用いてもよいし、数年にわたる平均伸び率を用いるようにしてもよい。また、以下の実施例では、各企業の成長力を見るために（１＋超過成長率）を加重して用いている。１を加算したのは、企業の伸び率＝全企業の伸び率であった場合、０を加重することを避けるためである。
）
次に、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）を算出する際に用いる超過成長率について定義する。

図１４に、上記式１６にて算出する超過成長率の算出例を示す。
次に、超過成長率を加味した特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）を算出する計算式を示す。

特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）は、企業競争力指数に含まれる指数の一形態である。特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）は、技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩ指数により求めた各ＩＰＣサブクラスの競争状態（寡占または競争）と、各社の技術分野別企業別シェアと、超過成長率（各社の出願請求項数の伸び率）とを用いて、特許出願等の発明からみた技術開発競争力の度合いを測ったものである。
更に特許競争力指数を算出する際に、超過成長率を加重するとより企業の成長、減退の度合いを加味して競争力を判断することが可能となる。このように超過成長率を加重することによって、特許出願請求項数の仲び率が高いほど特許競争力指数の値を大きく算出することが可能となる。したがって、特許競争力指数の値が大きく算出されるほど、当該企業が出願している発明から見た技術開発力の総合力が大きいということができる。
図１１及び図１２に、所定の技術分野における各社について技術分野別企業別発明数シェア、技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩ指数（特許競争力指数Ａ）、特許競争力指数Ｂ（ＰＣＰＩＢ）、技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩスコア（強調ＰＣＰＩ又は技術分野別強調寡占スコア）を試算した例を示す。
図１１に示す計算例では、技術分野「Ｈ０１Ｌ」において企業Ｂが、他の企業と比較して出願請求項数が７０項と比較的多い場合の計算例である。したがって、企業Ｂの技術分野別企業別発明数シェアが０．１４０と他の企業と比較して大きく算出され、技術分野別企業別発明数シェア（特許競争力指数Ａ（ＰＣＰＩＡ）は０．０１９６と他の企業と比較して更に大きく算出される。
一方の図１２に示す計算例は、技術分野「Ｇ０６Ｆ」では、企業Ｂの企業別技術分野別発明数は７０と図１１に示した企業Ｂの発明数と同一であるが、企業Ａと企業Ｅの企業別技術分野別発明数がそれぞれ２６項、３３項と比較的多いので、さほど各社の出願請求項数に差が無い場合の計算例である。図１２の計算例では、図１１の計算例と比較して、各社の技術分野別企業別発明数シェア、技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩ指数（特許競争力指数Ａ）、強調ＰＣＰＩの各値の差は少なく算出される。
図１３は、各技術分野別に算出した企業毎の技術分野別企業別ＳＥＩスコア（強調ＰＣＰＩ又は技術分野別強調寡占スコア）の値を表にまとめたものである。
Ａ社の超過成長率による重み付けをしないときの特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）の値は、式１５により１６０．８５と算出され、Ｂ社の特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）の値は、１６．２２と算出される。
図１４は、各特定企業において出願した請求項数の伸び率（直近３年次における発明数の平均伸び率の一形態）と、全企業の請求項数伸び率の平均値（全企業の直近３年次における発明数の平均伸び率）と、式１６を用いて算出した超過成長率とを示す図表である。
同図に示すように、企業Ａの直近３年次における特許請求項の平均伸び率は５．０％であり、全企業の直近３年次における特許請求項の平均伸び率は２．３％であったので、Ａ企業の超過成長率＝５．０％−２．３％＝２．７％＝０．０２７と算出される。一方、企業Ｂの直近３年次における特許請求項の平均伸び率は−１．０％であったので、Ｂ企業の超過成長率＝−１．０％−２．３％＝−３．３％＝０．０３３と算出される。
図１５は、特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）と、超過成長率に基づいて算出した特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）を示す図表である。
企業Ａの特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）は１６０．８５であり、超過成長率は２．７％であったので、式１７Ａにより、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）＝（１６０．８５）×（１＋０．０２７）＝１６５．１９と算出される。
同様に企業Ｂの特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）は１６．２２であり、超過成長率は−３．３％であったので、式１７Ａにより、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）＝（１６．２２）×（１−０．０３３）＝１５．６８と算出される。
図１６に、横軸に特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の値を対数で表し、縦軸を企業数で表した場合の計算結果の分布を示す。
一般に特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の分布は正規分布に近い分布状況になる。そこで本発明では、以上のようにして求めた特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の値に応じて、各企業が全企業中の分布のうちのどこに位置するかをランク付けすることにした。
なお、図１６では横軸に特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）を対数で表した例を示したが、本発明は対数表示に限定するものではなく、通常の分布で表現してもよい。また、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と同様に、特許競争力スコア、規格化特許競争力スコア、企業競争力指数、規格化企業競争力指数、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）についても横軸を対数で表し、縦軸を企業数で表すようにしてもよい。
図１７に、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）に応じたランク分けの区分例を示す。同図に示す例では、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の平均値Ｘと標準偏差σとに応じて、特定企業の発明に関する競争力について正規分布の性質に従って５つのランクに区分している。
なお、図１７では特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）についてランク分けをした例を示したが、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と同様に、特許競争力スコア、規格化特許競争力スコア、企業競争力指数、規格化企業競争力指数、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）についてランク分けを行なうようしてもよい。
図１８は、特定企業の発明に関する競争力の区分を星の数で表現するスターランクと、発明に関する競争力を企業のタイプとして表現するタイプ区分名との関連を示す図表である。
特定企業の特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の位置づけを星の数や企業のタイプとして表現することによって、発明に関する競争力を見易く表現することが可能となり、特許出願件数や特許出願の請求項数、ＩＰＣサブクラスの分類等についてよく知らない利用者に対しても、複数の企業間の発明に関する競争力をわかり易く通知することが可能となる。
上記の説明では、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）が平均値Ｘを上回った企業を際立たせるため、平均値以上を３つのランクに区分したが、更に細かく区分しても良い。また、平均値Ｘを下回った企業を際立たせるため平均値以下の企業について細かく区分してもよい。
また、区分の範囲も、標準偏差を使った（Ｘ＋σ）などに限定されるものではなく、区分する者の経験の積み重ねを生かして、分布を見て区分するようにしてもよい。
なお、図１８では特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）についてスターランク区分とタイプ区分を行なった例を示したが、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と同様に、特許競争力スコア、規格化特許競争力スコア、企業競争力指数、規格化企業競争力指数、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）についてスターランク区分とタイプ区分を行なうようしてもよい。
企業Ａの特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）が、全企業の中で、上位２．２８％から１６％に入っていた場合には「★★★☆、スタープレーヤー」と判別し、企業Ａの特許競争力が優れていることを利用者に通知する。
同様に企業Ｂの特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）が上位１６％から５０％に入っていた場合には、「★★☆☆、プレーヤー」と判断し、特許競争力はやや劣っていると判断される。なお、企業Ａ及び企業Ｂの特許競争力指数Ｄ（ＰＣＰＩＤ）のみとし、超過成長率を加重しないでタイプ区分を計算してみたところ、本例の場合には分類されるタイプ区分に変動はなかった。これは、伸び率が全企業平均伸び率とあまり大きくかけ離れていなかったからである。発明数が、大きく成長或いは減退した企業の場合には、超過成長率を加重することが大きく計算結果に反映される。
次に、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）を各社が出願しているサブクラス分類数（技術分野数）で除すことによって、ＩＰＣサブクラス当たり（技術分野当たり）の競争力の度合いを示す指標となる規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）について説明する。なお、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）は規格化企業競争力指数に含まれる指標の一形態である。以下では規格化特許競争力指数をａｖｇＰＣＰＩ（ａｖｅｒａｇｅＰａｔｅｎｔＣｏｍｐｅｔｉｔｉｖｅＰｏｓｉｔｉｏｎＩｎｄｅｘ）と呼ぶことにする。
特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）だけで企業の特許競争力を比較判断しようとした場合には、技術開発分野の広い大手企業と、ある技術分野に特化した競争力を有する企業との間で平等に評価できない場合がある。
特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）は、各企業が出願している技術分野（例えばＩＰＣサブクラス）における競争力の総和であるため、社歴のある技術開発分野の広い大手企業などのように、技術分野が広いほど（ＩＰＣサブクラス分類数が多いほど）特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の数値が増大するので、企業年齢の高い大手企業に有利に働く傾向がある。
一方、ある技術分野に特化した技術的競争力を有する企業には不利に働く場合がある。このような不平等を是正するために、算出した特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）について各企業が出願している技術分野数（例えばＩＰＣサブクラス分類数）で除すことによって規格化し、技術分野毎（ＩＰＣサブクラス当たり）の競争力を判断できるようにしたのが規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）である。
規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を算出する場合においても、公開特許公報に付与されているＩＰＣサブクラスの主分類のみを用いるだけでなく、主分類と副分類とを併用して、主分類０．５件、副分類０．５件のように平等に計数してもよいし、主分類０．７件、副分類０．３件のように重み付けを行なって、ＩＰＣサブクラスの件数を計算してもよい。
以下に規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を算出する計算式を示す。

例：
技術分野数＝３年平均ＩＰＣサブクラス数
上記の例では、直近３年の平均ＩＰＣサブクラス数を企業の出願傾向の平均と捉えた場合を想定しているが、その年度のみでも良いし数年の平均のＩＰＣサブクラス数を用いて規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を算出するようにしてもよい。
例えば図１５に示した企業Ａの場合であって、ＩＰＣサブクラス５部門が直近３年の平均数であったとすると、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）は以下のように算出される。

同様に図１５に示した企業Ｂの場合であって、ＩＰＣサブクラス１４部門が直近３年の平均数であったとすると、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）は以下のように算出される。

このようにして各企業の規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を算出し、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と同様のルールに従って、５種類のスターランクに区分して表示して比較すると、その表示結果に応じて以下の予想を立てることが可能となる。
特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）による区分では「プレイヤー」のランクであった企業が、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）による区分では「スタープレイヤー」に格上げになった場合には、その企業は比較的強みのある技術を所有していると考えることができる。
逆に、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）による区分では「スタープレイヤー」であった企業が、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）による区分では「スター」と格下げになった場合には、その企業には強みのある技術があまり存在していないと考えることができる。
一般に、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）について各区分にランク分けする場合と同様に規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）について各区分にランク分けする場合にも、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を対数で表した分布が正規分布に近い分布になるので対数軸を採用したが、本発明は対数に限定されるものではなく、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の軸を通常のリニアな軸として分布を算出してもよい。
図１９及び図２０に、企業Ａと企業Ｂの特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）と特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）とを併せて表示する表示例を示す。
同図に示す例では、表の横軸に特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）の型の区分を配置し、縦軸に特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）または規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の区分を配置している。
図１９に示す企業Ａの例では、横軸の特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）の区分が「集中型」に分類され、縦軸の特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の区分は「スタープレーヤー」（同図の●印の位置）に分類されていることが一目で判断できる。また、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）は「スーパースター」（同図の★印の位置）に格上げになっていることが１目で理解できる。
図２０に示す企業Ｂの例では、横軸の特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）の区分が「総合型」に分類され、縦軸の特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の区分は「プレーヤー」（同図の●印の位置）に分類されている。また、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）は「バイプレーヤー」（同図の★印の位置）に格下げになっていることがわかる。
図１９及び図２０に示すように、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）と併せて、一方の軸を特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）として表し、もう一方の軸を規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）として表形式で該当するランク及び区分を表示することによって、単に数字や文字で企業の位置付けを判断するよりも、企業の多角化の型と特許競争力のランクまたは規格化特許競争力のランクの位置付けが１目で理解でき、企業の価値判断の材料として役立つことになる。
例えば、全企業の規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を計算して区分したところ、
企業Ａの特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）は上位２．２８％から１６％に属したのでランクの区分は「スタープレーヤー」であったとする。そして、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を算出したところ上位２．２８％に属したので「スーパースター」に格上げとなったとする。この場合に企業Ａは、特許競争力が比較的強く、特徴ある優れた技術を有していることを示していると考えられる。
また逆に、例えば企業Ｂの特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の値は上位１６％から５０％に属したのでランクの区分は「プレーヤー」であったとする。そして、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の値を算出したところ、上位５０％から８４％に属したので「バイプレーヤ」に格下げとなったとする。この場合に企業Ｂには、強力な中心技術があまり無いことを示していると考えられる。
また図１９及び図２０に示すように、一方の軸を特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）とし、もう一方の軸を規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）として当該企業が該当する区分を相互に関連付けて組み合わせて表示することによって、発明に基づいた企業の姿や位置づけを、より鮮明に打ち出すことが可能となる。
また、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の数値に基づく区分では「スタープレーヤ」にあった企業が、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の数値に基づく区分では「プレーヤ」に格下げになった場合には、当該企業の出願領域の広さが技術の競争力を高めているが、個々の出願分野における競争力は高くないと判断することもできる。逆に、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の数値に基づく区分が「プレーヤ」から「スタープレーヤ」に格上げされた場合には、当該企業の出願領域はそれほど広くないため相対的な技術の競争力はそれほど高くないが、個々の技術分野における競争力は高いと判断することもできる。したがって、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）に基づく型の区分と、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）に基づく区分とを相互に関連付けて組み合わせて表示することによって、総合的な特許競争力と集中している技術開発力を持つ企業の姿が更に明らかになるとともに、各社の技術開発に関するステータスをより立体的に表現することが可能となる。
図２１は、所定の技術分野における各企業の特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）とその順位、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）とその順位と、多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）に基づく型の区分とを、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）数値が高い順に表した図表である。
図２２は、図２１と同様の内容を規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の数値が高い順に表した図表である。
図２１及び図２２を組み合わせて特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）とを組み合わせを見ることによって、企業が、特許競争力が強か否か、特徴ある優れた技術を有しているか否か、強力な中心技術が存在するか否かについて、多角化の規模とともに関連づけて判断することが可能となる。
図２１では特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の数値の順番で企業を並べてあり、図２２では規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）順番に企業を並べてある。これらの図を見ると、例えばＩＳ社やＫＷ社のように特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の数値では上位に位置していた企業が、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の数値の順位では下位になっている企業が存在する。また、ＲＥ社やＳＡ社のように、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の数値の順位では下位に位置していた企業が、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の数値の順位では上位に顔を出している企業も存在する。
このように特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の順位とを併せて表示することによって、比較的多方面で総合的に技術力を有している企業であるか、特殊な分野で特徴のある技術を有している企業であるかを対比しながら、各社の技術開発に関する様々な位置づけを考察し判断することが可能となる。
例えば同図に示すように、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の値で３位、４位にあったＩＳ社やＫＷ社は、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の値では４５位、４２位とランクが下である。この両社は、比較的多方面で総合的に技術力を有しているが、特殊な分野で特徴のある技術を有していないと判断することができる。
一方ＭＩ社は、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）が他企業とかけ離れた高い数値を示している。これは、最も特許等の発明が多角化していることを示していると考えられる。この多角化の度合いが特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の値を大きく算出する方向に有利に働いている。そして特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の値の大きいことは、ＭＩ社が強い技術競争力を備えていることを確実に反映していると考えることができる。なぜならば、たとえ特許等の発明が多角化していようとも、各ＩＰＣサブクラス等の技術分野においてシェアを確保していなければ、他社の研究開発や特許出願を牽制することができず、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）算出の上でも過小な値しか加算されないからである。
また、ＭＩ社が数多くのＩＰＣサブクラスの技術分野で特許出願をすることができるということは、それだけの技術知識の積み重ねがあると考えることもできる。更にＭＩ社は規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の数値においても９位に位置し、特徴のある技術も持ち合わせていると考えることができる。
したがってＭＩ社は、たいへん伝統ある企業であり、長い年月の積み重ねが技術の累積を生み、圧倒的な技術特許競争力を備えていると考えられる。
また、ＴＳ社は、特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）に基づく区分では「集中型」に分類され、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）の順位では第２位にランクされ、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）の順位では第１位にランクされている。このことは、ＴＳ社は、技術競争力も強いし、特徴ある技術も有していることが窺える。
このように、多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）や特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）を算出して一覧表示することによって、企業の技術力や競争力を素早くより適格に判断することが可能となる。また、経営規模の異なる他社との比較も容易となる。
図２３に、企業価値判断を行なう際の多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）等の技術開発力に関する指標を演算し、出力する際のフローチャートを示す。

図３７に、特許情報の一形態である特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）を横軸に表し、経営財務情報の一形態である製造販売利益を縦軸に表したグラフの判断手法の一例を示す。
特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）または規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）または特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）と製造販売利益（ＧＢＰ）との関係を一般論的に言うと、図３７に示すようなポートフォリオに区分することができる。
グラフ中央の縦、横の十字線は、縦軸、横軸の平均値を示す線である。同図の右上のグループに属する企業は、製造販売利益が高く、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）も大きな値を示していることから、ここに属する企業は収益性が良好かつ特許競争力が強い企業であると判断することができる。
また、同図における左下のグループに属する企業は、製造販売利益が低く、特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）も小さな値を示していることから、ここに属する企業は収益性が悪く、かつ特許競争力も弱い企業であると判断することができる。
図３８は、化学部門に属する企業の特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と製造販売利益（ＧＢＰ）との関係を表した図である。
図３８では、化学業界における各企業の位置について、最小二乗法等の手法を用いて平均値の直線を引いてある。この平均値の直線より右上にある企業は、比較的多方面の技術分野で特許競争力が強く、企業収益性も兼ね備えていると判断することができる。
また、グラフの右上に位置する企業であっても、平均値の直線より下側に位置する企業は、化学業界全般では特許競争力はあるものの、収益性がやゝ弱いと判断することができる。左下の平均線より下の企業は、化学業界全般においては、特許競争力も弱く収益性も悪い企業であると判断することができる。また、グラフの左側寄りに位置する企業であっても、平均値の直線より上に位置する企業の場合には、化学業界全般での特許競争力はそんなに強くないが、収益性が良い企業であると判断することができる。
図３９は、化学部門に属する企業の規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）と製造販売利益（ＧＢＰ）との関係を表した図である。
図３９の場合と同様に、化学業界における各企業の位置について、最小二乗法等の手法を用いて平均値の直線を引いてある。この平均値の直線より右上にある企業は、特殊な技術分野で特許競争力が強く、企業収益性も兼ね備えていると判断することができる。
また、グラフの右上に位置する企業であっても、平均値の直線より下側に位置する企業は、化学業界の特殊な技術分野では特許競争力はあるものの、収益性がやゝ弱いと判断することができる。左下の平均線より下の企業は、化学業界の一部においては、特許競争力も弱く収益性も悪い企業であると判断することができる。また、グラフの左側寄りに位置する企業であっても、平均値の直線より上に位置する企業の場合には、化学業界の特殊な分野では特許競争力はそんなに強くないが、収益性が良い企業であると判断することができる。
以上のように、企業の発明に関する競争力と製造販売利益との関係をグラフに表すことによって、各業界ごと発明の競争力と、製造販売利益との関係を比較することが可能となる。また、所定の業界と他の業界との比較を行なうことも可能であり、更に全体企業の中における調査対象の企業の位置付けも容易に判断することが可能となる。
図４０は、全企業の特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）と製造販売利益（ＧＢＰ）の関係を示す図である。
同図に示すように、全企業の特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）と製造販売利益（ＧＢＰ）との組み合わせを見ることにより、企業の価値評価を総合的に鮮明に表現することが可能となる。
特に同図のグラフの右側に存在し、平均値の線から大きく上位に位置する企業は、特許出願が多方面に多角化しており、しかも夫々の部門でも優位な出願をしていることが窺われる。総合的に判断するとこの企業は、技術開発力と収益性とが優れていると判断することができ、注目すべき企業と判断することができる。
また、各社の各年度における製造販売利益（ＧＢＰ）の同業種平均額との差額を示す指数として、超過製造販売利益（超過ＧＢＰ）を採用してもよい。
下式に、超過製造販売利益（超過ＧＢＰ）を算出する計算式を示す。

超過製造販売利益（超過ＧＢＰ）は、ある企業が製造販売活動によって得た事業収入のうち業種平均を超過する部分を示す数値である。超過製造販売利益（超過ＧＢＰ）を用いることによって、同業種における他社との比較を適切に行なうことが可能となり、調査対象の企業が業種の平均と比較して優れているか劣っているかの判断を容易に行なうことが可能となる。
図３９又は図４０に示した比較以外にも、超過製造販売利益（超過ＧＢＰ）と特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）、規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）または特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）とを組み合わせて一つのグラフに表示するようにしてもよい。
図４１は、化学業界の特許競争力指数（ＰＣＰＩ）と超過ＧＢＰとの関係を示す図である。
同図に示すように、平均値の直線よりも右上に位置する企業は、広範囲な技術分野における特許の競争力が優れており、しかも同業他社と比較しても事業収益力が優れていると判断することができる。
逆に、同図の左下に位置し、平均値の直線よりも下側に位置する企業は、広範囲な技術分野における特許の競争力が弱く、同業種の中で比較した場合には事業収益力が弱い企業であると判断することができる。
また、同図の右側で平均値の直線より下に位置する企業は、広範囲な技術分野で特許の競争力は強いが、事業収益力が弱い企業であると判断することができる。また、平均値の直線より上位に位置する企業は、同業種の中では特許の競争力が強く、事業収益も上げている企業であると判断することができる。
図４２は、化学業界の規格化特許競争力指数（ａｖｇＰＣＰＩ）と超過ＧＢＰの関係を示す図である。
同図に示す右上に大きく離れてプロットされている企業は、特徴ある技術分野を有しており、しかも、同業種の中では事業収益力も優れている企業であると判断することが可能である。同図に示す右側に位置するとともに平均値の直線よりも下に位置する企業は、比較的特徴ある技術分野を有するが、同業種の中では事業収益力が弱い企業であると判断することができる。また、同図に示す左下に存在し、かつ平均値の直線より下に位置する企業は、特徴ある技術を有しておらず、事業収益力も弱い企業であると判断することが可能である。
図４３は、化学業界における各企業の特許多角化指数（ＰＤＩ）と超過ＧＢＰの関係を示す図である。
同図に示すように、化学業界ではかなりの企業が総合型（９０以上９６未満）に属しており、平均値の直線より上に位置する企業は４社しかなく、しかも１社だけ大きく事業収益力が強いことを示している。このように各業界ごとに見てゆくと、業界の特徴や、調査対象の企業が収益力の強い企業であるか、あるいは収益力の弱い企業であるかが明らかとなり、企業価値の判断を行なう上で役に立つことになる。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The company's financial information includes sales, sales profit, operating profit, sales profit ratio, operating profit ratio, total asset market capitalization ratio, shareholder capital market capitalization ratio, sales market capitalization ratio, manufacturing and sales profit market capitalization ratio, Return on market capitalization ratio, return on sales of total assets, return on sales of shareholders 'equity, operating profit on assets, return on equity, return on shareholders' equity, market capitalization difference in equity, R & D expenses, sales R & D expenses Ratio, manufacturing and sales profit R & D cost ratio, manufacturing and sales profit ratio, operating profit R & D cost ratio, or manufacturing and sales profit.
The company's financial information includes total assets, tangible fixed assets, capital investment, depreciation expenses, royalty income such as patent fees, financial assets (current assets, current liabilities, etc.), interest expenses, discounts, long-term prime Rate (long-term borrowing interest rate), short-term prime rate, corporate bond interest rate, 10-year long-term government bond yield rate, personnel expenses (including executive compensation, labor costs), welfare expenses, shareholders' equity, total number of issued shares, stock price (Nikkei average) Stock price), or tax effects.
The company combination information includes sales per employee, R & D expenses per employee, sales profit per employee, operating profit per employee, manufacturing sales profit per employee, and the like.
The manufacturing and sales profit will be described below.
As a result of the revision of accounting standards, R & D expenses are required to be recorded as full expenses in principle in the fiscal year ended March 2000 and beyond. In the past, there were many companies that did not disclose R & D expenses included in manufacturing costs and general administrative expenses as a breakdown, but after the enforcement of this rule, the amount of R & D expenses related to profit and loss calculation became clear. In response to this, an index named “Manufacturing and Sales Profit” was developed for the purpose of analyzing the actual conditions of R & D expenses of companies from various perspectives. This is a trial calculation of the assumed profit amount (total profit generated by the main business excluding R & D activities, that is, manufacturing and sales activities) required by adding R & D expenses to operating profit. Since this R & D cost is recorded as an expense, operating profit will be reduced as R & D activities become more active in the profit and loss calculation. In the midst of discussions, it seems to give one perspective to the problem that it is difficult to grasp the actual situation of corporate profitability from the viewpoint of operating profit alone. This indicator is generally positioned between sales profit and operating profit, and by using these indicators together, it is possible to grasp the profitability of a company more three-dimensionally.
Sales profit is a gross profit calculated by subtracting manufacturing costs from sales, but R & D costs include those included in manufacturing costs and general administrative expenses. It cannot be said that sales profit is a profit indicator that lies between sales profit and operating profit. The relationship between the manufacturing sales profit and other profit indicators is expressed as follows.
Manufacturing sales profit = {(Sales profit) + (R & D cost included in manufacturing cost)}
-{(General administrative expenses)-(R & D expenses included in general administrative expenses)}
= Operating income + total amount of R & D expenses
The ratio of R & D expenses for manufacturing and sales profit is explained below.
The ratio of “R & D expenses” to “Manufacturing and sales profits” is calculated, and it is possible to see how much of the total profit generated by manufacturing and sales activities is reinvested as R & D expenses. This ratio seems to have a different meaning from the "R & D ratio", which is generally called the R & D ratio, but it can be used for various purposes such as analysis to examine what ratio is appropriate. I tried a simple analysis.
The value of “Production and sales profit R & D cost ratio” is not for comparing the superiority or inferiority of companies. This index varies greatly depending on the type of industry, scale, management strategy of each company, and operating revenue. Therefore, it can be used as one of the reference indicators for making relative comparisons between companies of the same industry and size.
The manufacturing and sales profit margin will be described below.
“Manufacturing sales profit ratio” was obtained by dividing “Manufacturing sales profit” by sales. Therefore, this indicator is a calculation of the ratio of gross profit generated by core business excluding R & D activities, that is, manufacturing and sales activities, to sales. ) And operating profit ratio (ratio of profit generated by core business including R & D activities).
The market capitalization difference is explained below.
Since the market capitalization determined by the stock price can be said to be an evaluation of the corporate value in the market, the difference between the market capitalization and the shareholders' equity in the book is the off-balance-sheet asset of the company in the market (intangible assets that are not recorded as assets) It can also be said that the evaluation amount. In the future, as the Japanese accounting system shifts to market value accounting, the significance of this difference is considered to be increasingly important. Because, when full market value accounting is performed, companies with a “market capitalization difference” of 0 or less (that is, PBR of 1 or less) means that the off-balance sheet intangible asset value is 0. It is. Under the current stock market conditions, there are many companies with a PBR of 1 or less. For example, the “market capitalization difference” of a company that has useful patents that will be profitable in the future and that does not have bad debts or deteriorated assets. If it is 0 or less, the possibility of underestimation in the market can be pointed out.
Currently, the Japanese accounting system is in the process of gradually shifting to market value accounting, so the amount of shareholders' equity in the book differs from theoretical net assets. It is not possible to judge whether the valuation is too small or too large by estimating the valuation value of off-balanced intangible assets in the company's market using only the difference.
The average number of years required for registration will be described below.
“Number of years required for registration” means the number of years required for a patent to be granted and registered as a patent. “Average number of years required for registration (by year of registration)” is the average number of years required for each patent registered in each period of the registration statistics period from application to registration. "Average number of years required for registration (by year of application)" means that individual patents registered between the period of registration statistics and the end of the period of application statistics are registered from application to registration. The average number of years required for each application year is calculated.
Accordingly, the “average number of years required for registration (by application year)” changes (increases) as new registration occurs. It should be noted that due to the shortening of the examination request period, it is expected that the “required number of years of registration” for applications filed after October 2001 will be significantly shortened.
FIG. 4 shows a chart of an example of technical literature recorded in recording means such as the database 20.
As shown in the figure, the technical literature includes patent literature such as patent and utility model application information and registration information.

Below, each parameter | index at the time of evaluating a company based on the number of invention is demonstrated.
In general, companies with a higher number of inventions such as the number of patent applications and the number of claims included in patent applications are allocated a budget for the development of new products, and the product development for the future is more active. It can be judged that the company is expected to improve.
In recent years, many industrial products have many functions in order to increase the value of the product itself, and the technical fields required for product development are expanding according to the function and performance of the product. In addition, if a design that enhances the competitiveness by improving the functions and performance of the developed product, the development cost of the product also rises, requiring a large amount of funds and human resources.
If a company that has created many technical ideas for new product development and has applied for a patent has sufficient development funds, in view of the exclusive exclusive rights at the time of obtaining the patent, It can be judged that the company is expected to expand and improve profits.
Investors and banks want to invest in promising companies, and students and mid-career engineers also want to work in promising companies with original technical capabilities.
In the present invention, a judgment is made when an investor, a bank, an engineer, etc. search for a promising company with a unique technological capability from a plurality of companies, or investigate a company with superiority. It provides a number of indicators that can be used to determine whether the invention in a specific technical field is in a competitive or oligopolistic state.
First, determine whether an invention related to a specific technical field has been applied equally to each company and the technology is already in a competitive state, or whether a specific company has applied prominently and the technology is in an oligopolistic state. Describes a patent application portfolio analysis that provides a possible index.
In the patent application portfolio analysis, the number of inventions such as the number of patent applications and the number of claims at the time of filing is extracted for each technical field such as IPC subclass and keyword.
In general, a patent application is a novel invention that can be used industrially, and is applied for an invention within a range that satisfies the requirement of unity of invention. Therefore, the number of patent applications is considered as the number of inventions. It is also possible.
Also, there are many cases where a plurality of novel inventions are described in a plurality of claims in one patent application. Therefore, the number of claims in a patent application can be considered as the number of inventions. Particularly in recent years, the number of claims included in one patent application tends to increase. However, it has been statistically found that the average number and tendency of the number of claims included in one patent application differ greatly depending on the technical field, industry, and company. Therefore, simply analyzing the trend of patent applications of each company based on the number of applications, relative evaluation with other companies, analysis of technical capabilities, etc., may lead to large misunderstandings. For this reason, in the embodiment of the present invention, the trend of patent applications and the technical trend of each company are considered from both the number of patent applications and the number of claims of patent applications.
In the above example, the number of patent applications and the number of claims are the number of inventions, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as the number of inventions, the number of patents or utility models registered, the number of registered claims, The number of requests for examination, number of claims filed for examination, number of registered assessments, number of claims for registration assessment, number of claims for rejection, number of claims for rejection, number of requests for appeal, number of claims for appeal, etc. Good.
Furthermore, it is also conceivable to use a value obtained by combining the above two or more inventions, for example, (the number of registered cases / the number of examination requests) depending on the application.
In the above example, the IPC subclass is used as the technical field of the invention. However, the technical information is not limited to the IPC subclass, but the IPC section, class, subclass, main group, subgroup, F-term, FI Classifications such as keywords included in facets and patent documents may be used depending on the application.
In addition, as another invention classification, classification such as the filing date of patent applications, etc., yearly registration date, etc. may be used, classification by the number of years from application to registration, classification by the number of years from request for examination to registration, Classification such as registered patent retention period may be used.
In the following example, a calculation example using the IPC subclass for the technical field classification and using the number of patent applications and the number of claims as the number of inventions is shown as a representative example.
FIG. 5 shows the top technical fields (H05K, H01L, etc.) with a large number of inventions in a specific year (2003) of a specific company (BI company), and the number of inventions of all companies in that technical field. A table that displays the share (ratio) of the number of inventions of a specific company (BI company) and oligopoly information that indicates whether the number of inventions is in a competition state or an oligopoly state among the companies in the predetermined technical field. It is a figure which shows an example.
The figure shows the period information indicating the year of the invention used for the calculation, the technical field to which the invention such as the IPC subclass belongs, the number of patents by company and the number of patents by company in the specified technical field of a specific company Number of claims by technology field, number of claims by technology field by company in the total number of claims by company (share of the number of claims by technology field by company (ratio)), and description by company in the total number of applications by company The number of filings by field (share of the number of filings by technical field by company (ratio)), the total number of claims by company, and the number of classifications in the technical field are shown.
In addition, the figure shows the ratio of the number of claims by company-specific technical field to the number of company-wide claims by technology field (share of the number of claims by company by technology field), and the demand by company of each company in the technology field In view of the number of terms, oligopoly information indicating whether the number of inventions is in a competition state or an oligopoly state is shown.
Formula 1 below shows a calculation formula for calculating the ratio of the number of claims by technology field by company to the total number of claims by company (claim share by technology field by company).

The calculation formula for calculating the ratio of the number of applications by company-specific technical field to the total number of applications by company (share of the number of applications by company-specific technical field) is shown below.

If the

above formulas

1 and 2 are not limited to the number of claims and the number of applications, but the number of examination requests, the number of registrations, the number of registered claims, etc. are generalized and described as the number of inventions, This can be expressed as Equation 3 below. In the following

Expression

3, 100 is finally multiplied to enable% display, but the ratio may be calculated without multiplying by 100.

Next, a calculation formula for calculating the ratio of the number of claims by technology field by company to the total number of claims by technology field (share of the number of claims by company by technology field) is shown.

If the parameters of the above equation 4 are not limited to the number of claims but the number of applications, the number of registered items, the number of registered claims, etc. are generalized and described as the number of inventions, they can be expressed in the following equation 5.

Oligopoly information indicating whether the number of inventions in a specific technical field is in a competitive state or an oligopolistic state in the whole company is expressed by, for example, the following formula for calculating the technical field SEI score (technical field oligopoly score): Substituting and discriminating and displaying.

For example, when 1000 is used as a threshold value for determining the competition state or the oligopoly state, the competition state of the invention in a predetermined technical field can be classified as follows.
Competitive status: Share of number of inventions by company by technology field (when ka = 2) <1000
Oligopoly state: Number of invention shares by technology sector (when ka = 2) ≧ 1000
The original HHI index is an index that is an abbreviation of Hirschman-Herfindahl Index and is called a “half-indal index”. Originally, the HHI index is a method for measuring the degree of oligopoly and dispersion in an arbitrary product market, and is obtained by the sum of squared shares of companies entering the market.
When this HHI index is applied to the invention and applied, if one company is completely monopolized, the value of applied HHI is 10,000, and the value becomes lower as the competition becomes more intense. In the present invention, the HHI index is applied to the number-of-inventions share, and a threshold value for determining an oligopolistic state or a competitive state is provided. Then, when the applied HHI index of the invention number share is equal to or greater than the threshold, it is determined as an oligopolistic state, and when it is less than the threshold, it is determined as a competitive state.
In the above example, the threshold value of the applied HHI index based on the invention number share is empirically set to 1000, but the threshold value is not limited to 1000. Moreover, it is not limited to the case where the number of inventions by company in each technical field of the companies that have entered the market is squared, and a value of 3 or more may be used depending on the application.
As an example of expressing the number of inventions, when judging the future potential of a company using the number of patent applications or comparing it with other companies, simply comparing the number of applications with a focus on the number of inventions, etc. In some cases, information that the user wants to know cannot be obtained. Therefore, in the present invention, the breakdown by technical field that is not clarified only from the total number of inventions such as the number of patent applications and the number of claims of patent applications is classified and analyzed using technical field information such as IPC subclass. Yes.
In addition to analyzing the breakdown of each company in-house, by displaying the status of other companies in the technical field and the competitive status of the number of inventions in the technical field, the survey target for the entire company that seems to be competing It becomes possible to grasp the position of the number of inventions of companies in three dimensions.
For example, when an application portfolio analysis is performed for a specific company, it is determined that the technical field ranked higher in the application portfolio due to the large number of inventions is in an oligopolistic state as a result of aggregation including other companies (any one) If a particular company has a considerable share of inventions in the technical field, that particular company will be overwhelmingly technical in the technical field. It will be recognized as occupying the position.
In addition, if the technical field ranked in the top of the portfolio is in a fierce competition as a result of aggregation including other companies, and the specific company has only a small share of the invention, the specific company is currently in the technical field. Then, because it is not in an advantageous situation, it can be assumed that it is in a state to consider exiting to another new core area that may be able to secure a competitive advantage.
For example, an example in which an application portfolio analysis is performed when a predetermined period is set to each year, an IPC subclass is set as the technical field to which the invention belongs, and the number of claims is set as the number of inventions will be described below.
First, the company evaluation device 30 performs a process of reading out an IPC subclass name and the number of claims for a company-wide published patent application filed within a predetermined period.
Then, for each IPC subclass attached to all the read published patent publications, the number of claims and the number of applications are tabulated, and the number of applications by company technical field, the number of claims by company technical field, and the top classification Display numbers and numbers.
In the example shown in FIG. 5, the number of claims by company technical field and the number of claims by company technical field for the predetermined five technical fields (IPC subclass) for each predetermined period (for example, by year). The share, the number of applications by company and the number of applications by company, and the number of applications by company and technology field are calculated and displayed in the left half. To the right of the number of claims by company technical field, the number of claims by company technical field, the number of applications by company technical field, and the number of applications by company technical field is to the right of the calculation results for the previous period. The increase / decrease (for example, year-on-year comparison) is displayed as ↑ or ↓.
The right half of the application portfolio analysis result shown in FIG. 5 shows the share of the number of inventions by company in each technical field (each IPC subclass) (in the example shown in FIG. 5, the share of the number of claims by company in each technical field) ) And the ranking of the number of inventions by company in each technical field and the oligopoly state of the technical field (IPC subclass) (predetermined threshold value and the calculated oligopoly score by technical field are compared, the invention in the predetermined technical field The number indicates an oligopolistic state of a specific company or an index for judging whether it is in a competitive state by many companies. In particular, in the example shown in FIG. 5, the oligopolistic state is written in letters, the number of claims by company for each technical field is written in a bar graph and a numerical value, and the determination result whether the oligopoly state or the competitive state is the same It is displayed in the frame or at an adjacent position.
Next, the numerical value of each calculation result shown in FIG. 5 and its meaning will be described.
In FIG. 5, the number of claims by technology field for each specific company (one form of the number of inventions by technology field for each company) in the year 2003 is 2,526 and the IPC subclass (one of the technical fields). The number of classifications of (form) indicates that applications have been filed over 51 classifications.
Among them, the IPC subclass ranks from the one with the most claims to the 5th place is 1st place: H05K (Number of claims by technology field by company = 731, 28.94% or less of the total number of claims in-house is the same) ) 2nd: H01L (527, 20.86%), 3rd: G02B (183, 7.24%), 4th: D21J (136, 5.38%), 5th: F01N (125, 4. 95%).
Regarding the calculated number-of-claims share by company-specific technical field, the corresponding number-of-invention-by-technology field share by company (assuming ka = 2 in Equation 6) is calculated. Since the SEI scores by technical field in all companies of the IPC subclass with the number from 1st to 3rd (refer to Formula 6 for the calculation formula) are all below 1,000, it is determined as a competitive state.
In particular, Company BI has a 0.40% share of the number of inventions by company in technology field of H01L, ranking 33rd, and G02B's share of the number of claims by company by technology field is 0.40%, ranking is 42nd place. Therefore, it is recognized that BI is in a very difficult situation in these technical fields.
Moreover, in the technical field of D21J, the ranking of the number of claims by company-specific technical field in BI is 4th, but among the number of inventions in all companies, 44.00% claim by company by technology field. It occupies several shares and ranks first. SEI score by technical field (when ka = 2) is also 44 (%) ² = 1,936 (see Formula 6 for the calculation formula), which greatly exceeds the threshold value of 1,000, so that it can be determined that it is an oligopolistic state of the BI company. Therefore, it can be determined that Company BI has an overwhelming advantage in the technological development in this technical field.
Further, in the next technical field of F0IN, the share of the number of claims by company in the technical field in the number of inventions in all companies is 2.70%, ranking 11th. Therefore, the occupation ratio of the invention by other companies is high, and it is determined as an oligopolistic state of companies other than the BI company. And it is possible to judge that the technical competition of BI in this technical field is in a difficult situation.
As described above, in the present invention, the technical competitiveness of a company that cannot be determined only by the number of inventions such as the number of patent applications by technical field and the number of claims by technical field by company is considered in the technical field such as IPC subclass. In addition to analyzing each company's breakdown, the status of each company's technology development is displayed in three dimensions by displaying the status of each company's share and oligopoly information, or the competitive status of the technology field itself. It becomes possible to grasp.
Next, the number of inventions by technology field by company (by IPC subclass, etc.) in the total number of claims by company for each year (each period, etc.) (number of claims by technology field by company, etc.) The calculation of a patent diversification index (an index indicating one form of the diversification index) representing the concentration of technological development in a predetermined technical field and the degree of diversification will be described using In the following, the patent diversification index is referred to as PDI (Patent Diversification Index), and is calculated in the following order together with SEI by company (share emphasis rate by technology field).
Next, a calculation formula for calculating the share (%) of the number of inventions by technical field by company is shown.

Next, a calculation formula for calculating the number-of-inventions share emphasis rate by technical field by company is shown.

Next, a definition formula of the SEI score by company (oligopoly score by company or share emphasis rate by technology field) is shown.

Next, a calculation formula for defining a patent diversification index PDI (Paten Diversification Index), which is one form of the diversification index, is shown.
In the following formula, the diversification index is calculated by multiplying the value obtained by subtracting the company-specific oligopoly score from 1 and multiplying it by 100, and it is displayed with a value that is close to the percentage display. A value obtained by subtracting the company-specific oligopoly score from 1 may be defined as a diversification index and displayed.

When calculating the company-specific SEI score, the share of the number of inventions by company-specific technical field is calculated by multiplying by kb. Therefore, when kb = 2, In the case of 100% in one technical field (when an invention exists only in one technical field), the SEI score for each company (maximum value) = 1.00.
As shown in each of the above formulas, when calculating the SEI score for each company, the sum of kb of the share of the number of claims for each technical field for each technical field is calculated. This calculation formula is similar to the share of the number of inventions by technical field and n company shown in Formula 6, but the target for calculating the total is different. In Formula 7, the total is subtracted from 1. It shows how many technical fields an invention in a specific company has been made.
By calculating the patent diversification index (PDI) using Equation 10, it is possible to indicate the degree of diversification of the invention within a specific company. The reason why the value is multiplied by 100 is to make it easy to read the numerical value as a value close to% display by setting the possible range of the patent diversification index to 0-100.
As shown in Equation 10, when calculating the patent diversification index, the sum of the powers of the number of claims by company by technical field itself is multiplied by 100 without subtracting the total number of invention shares from 1. Thus, a company-specific SEI score may be calculated. In this case, a large value is shown when inventions in a specific company are concentrated in a predetermined technical field, and thus the calculated index may be expressed as a monopoly index or an oligopoly index.
Moreover, it does not limit to multiplying by 100, You may multiply by the number with good cutting, or these multiples (for example, 10 or 200, 1000, 10000, etc.).
The SEI score for each technical field shown in Equation 6 indicates that a larger value indicates a state where a specific company monopolizes the invention (oligopoly) in a predetermined technical field, and a smaller value indicates that the specified technical field Many companies were creating inventions (distributed state). In the case of the Patent Diversification Index (PDI), as shown in Equation 8, since the SEI score for each company is subtracted from 100 and multiplied by 100, the closer the value is to 100, the more the invention is invented over a wide technical field. The diversification is shown, and the closer the value is to 0, the more the invention is concentrated in a predetermined technical field in the company.
Generally, kb = 2 may be used as the disparity index kb. However, by using a power that is greater than 1, it is possible to express the difference in share between the technical fields more greatly. Further, if the disparity index kb is a power less than 1, it is possible to express the difference between the technical fields small, but it is not preferable because the difference in the shares between the technical fields may be difficult to see. It can be effectively applied when comparing technical fields where the difference in the original share is too large. Therefore, the disparity index may be changed as appropriate according to the survey target and application.
In addition, the patent diversification index is calculated by the above formula and compared with a predetermined threshold, and the number of inventions in a specific company is concentrated in a specific technical field, or diversified into many technical fields. You may make it classify the degree of diversification using the figure or wording which expresses. The patent diversification index (PDI) shown in Equation 10 is calculated based on the number of inventions by technology field by company, but is calculated using the number of claims by technology field by company, the number of applications by technology field by company, and the like. You may do it.
As the numerical values related to the technical field, the main classification of the IPC subclass assigned to the published patent publication or the like may be used. Further, the IPC subclass subclass may be used in combination. In that case, it may be counted equally as 0.5 for the main classification and 0.5 for the sub-classification. It may be counted as 0.3 sub-classification. In the calculation of other indices according to the present invention, weighting may be performed in the same manner.
6 and 7 show examples of trial calculation of the patent diversification index (PDI).
Calculation 1 shown in FIG. 6 is a calculation example in which the patent diversification index (PDI) is calculated for the company A concentrated in the IPC subclass having the number of inventions by technical field “H01J”.
In the calculation 1 shown in FIG. 6, the company A has 164 inventions (number of patent claims) in the IPC subclass “H01J”, which is more than twice the number of other technical fields. This is an example that is considered to be.
Examining only the number of claims of company A, it is difficult to know whether the number of claims is concentrated in a predetermined technical field or diversified across various technical fields. Therefore, in the present invention, the share of the number of inventions by technical field by company is calculated from the number of inventions by technical field by company and the total sum, and the share of the number of inventions by technical field by company is raised by using a disparity index. By subtracting and multiplying by 100, a patent diversification index (PDI) indicating the degree of concentration and diversification of a specific company's technology development field is calculated and displayed.
Therefore, users can easily know the concentration and diversification level of a specific company's technology development field by simply looking at the patent diversification index (PDI). By comparing with the patent diversification index of a company, it becomes possible to compare the concentration of a predetermined technological development field and the degree of diversification.
The example shown in FIG. 6 is a calculation example when the inequality index kb is set to 2, but the inequality index is set to a value other than kb = 3, 1.5, 0.5 and 2 as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the degree of concentration and diversification in a predetermined technical development field can be changed according to the application. In addition, as the disparity index kb is increased, the degree of diversification and concentration can be expressed extremely.
Further, when calculating the patent diversification index (PDI), it is preferable to average the number of inventions for several years in order to equalize the variation among years. However, if an average of too many years is taken, the annual change and characteristics of the type of each company or technology field will be lost and become invisible, so it is desirable to take a moving average every three years. FIG. 6 shows the calculation result based on the number of inventions per year, and the calculation such as moving average is not performed. However, since the calculation can be performed by using the usual method, Then, explanation is omitted.
Calculation 2 shown in FIG. 7 is a calculation example in which a patent diversification index (PDI) is calculated for a B company in which the number of inventions by technical field is diversified equally.
In the calculation 2 shown in FIG. 7, since the number of inventions (number of patent claims) is equal to 70 or 80 in all IPC subclasses, the company B thinks that the technical development field of the company B is diversified. An example is possible.
Although it is difficult to compare the diversification status of the technology development field in Company B with the diversification status of the technology development field of Company A from the number of claims alone, the Patent Diversification Index (PDI) according to the present invention By calculating, displaying, and comparing, it becomes possible for the user to easily compare the diversification status of the technology development field.
The example shown in FIG. 7 is a calculation example when the inequality index kb is set to 2, but the inequality index is set to a numerical value other than kb = 3, 1.5, 0.5 and 2 as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the degree of concentration and diversification in a predetermined technical development field can be changed according to the application. In addition, as the disparity index kb is increased, the degree of diversification and concentration can be expressed extremely. Considering from the calculation results of FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the value of the disparity index kb seems to be appropriate between 1.5 and 3. In this embodiment, for the sake of explanation, the case where kb = 2 is mainly described.
FIG. 8 shows an example of diversification classification based on the value of the patent diversification index (PDI).
As described above, the patent diversification index (PDI) indicates the concentration of technology development in a specific company and the degree of diversification. By converting the evaluation information according to the numerical value of the conversion index and displaying the type classification, it is possible to notify the user of the concentration of the technical development field and the degree of diversification in an easy-to-understand manner.
In the example shown in FIG. 8, when the value of the patent diversification index (PDI) is 96 or more, it is classified as “super comprehensive type”, when it is 90 or more and less than 96, it is “comprehensive type”, and when it is 76 or more and less than 90 “Balance type” is classified as “concentrated type” when 50 or more and less than 76, and “super concentrated type” when less than 50.
Using the classification of patent diversification index shown in FIG. 8, Company A determines that the type classification is “centralized” because the patent diversification index (PDI) is 63.5 when kb = 2. To do. On the other hand, the company B determines that the type classification is “general type” because the patent diversification index (PDI) in the case of kb = 2 is 92.8.
The classification shown in FIG. 8 is an example, and when the viewpoint of the disparity index (kb value) or the patent diversification index is changed, another classification different from the classification shown in FIG. 8 may be applied. However, if the patent diversification index is calculated using the number of claims and the IPC subclass, the type classification shown in FIG.
Next, the number of inventions by technology field by company (claims by technology field by company) in the total number of inventions by technology field (total claims by technology field, etc.) for each year (each period, etc.) The calculation of the SEI score for each technical field and the patent competitiveness index representing the degree of technological development competitiveness viewed from the number of inventions will be described using the ratio of the number of the invention. In the following, the patent competitiveness index is referred to as PCPI (Patent Competitive Position Index), and is calculated in the following order together with the SEI score for each technical field. The patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is a form of an index included in the corporate competitiveness index.
The calculation formula for calculating the share of the number of inventions by company by technical field is shown below.

FIG. 11 shows a calculation example of the invention number share by company in each technical field in the technical field (H01L) calculated by Expression 11 above. Also, FIG. 12 shows an example of calculation of the number of invention shares by company in each technical field in the technical field of (G06F).
Next, a calculation formula for calculating the SEI index by company for each technical field (invention share emphasis rate by company for each technical field) is shown. This value is defined as Patent Competitiveness Index A (PCPIA).

FIG. 11 shows a calculation example of the enterprise-specific SEI index for each technical field in the technical field (H01L) calculated by Expression 12 above. In addition, FIG. 12 shows an example of calculation of the SEI index for each technical field in the technical field of (G06F).
Since the patent competitiveness index A (PCPIA) is raised to the ka power with respect to the share of the number of inventions by company for each technical field, it is possible to show a large difference in the share of the number of inventions by company for each technical field. Therefore, it is better to apply it to an event that is easier to understand if the disparity is greatly expressed.
Next, calculation formulas for calculating SEI scores by technical field are shown. This value is defined as Patent Competitiveness Index B (PCPIB).

The Patent Competitiveness Index B (PCPIB) is a numerical value for measuring the degree of oligopoly and dispersion by a specific company in an arbitrary technical field (product market, etc.). The sum of the number of inventions by sector and the share of the number of inventions by company to the ka power is obtained.
Competitiveness of technological development from the viewpoint of patent application by using the competitive status of each IPC subclass (technical field SEI score representing oligopoly or competitive status) determined by SEI (company) by technology field and the share of each company by technology field It is a measure of the degree of. Each company is aware of the technology that it develops and applies for, while looking at the application trends of other companies. In such a competitive market, companies with a large share of inventions can prevent other companies from entering. However, even if a company occupies the top share in a certain IPC subclass, the position of that company is not firm if it is in a fierce technological development competition. Therefore, in order to grasp the technological development competition status of the IPC subclass, we decided to calculate the SEI score by technical field of each participating company and see the marketability. The SEI score for each technical field is obtained by summing the kb powers of each company's share. The closer the value is to 1.00, the more the IPC subclass is in an oligopoly state.
In general, since claims are listed for each invention, a large number of claims indicates that the number of inventions is large. Since the number of companies that apply for a group of inventions to be applied has increased, performing quantitative measurement of an invention based on the number of applications is likely to cause misunderstandings. It is also desirable to measure based on the number of claims in order to eliminate arbitrary elements such as increasing the number of applications for inventions of small improvements.
Since the size of patent applications varies depending on the type of industry, when measuring the position of each company in the calculation of the patent competitiveness index, the data for the last three years are totaled, and the variation in the number of claims filed every year is standardized. It is desirable to do. In addition, in order to deal with the difference in the number of claims filed by industry, it was found that it is more desirable to compare not only by size but by share of the number of inventions by company by technical field.
Specifically, the number of claims for each company by technology field (share of the number of inventions by company by technology field) is calculated for each IPC subclass, and the value is used as the position of the company. According to the IPC subclass technology classification, if you look at the number of claims by company for each technology field (invention share by company by technology field), you can make comparisons in the same technology classification, and you can apply for applications by industry by industry. It will not be affected by the difference in the number of terms.
In the present invention, the main classification of the IPC subclass assigned to the published patent gazette was used, but in combination with the subclass, it may be counted as 0.5 main classification and 0.5 subclass, For example, the main classification and the sub-classification may be weighted differently to count, for example, 0.7 main classification and 0.3 sub-classification.
Next, a calculation formula for calculating the emphasized PCPI (technical field-specific company-specific SEI score or PCPIC) is shown.

FIG. 11 shows a calculation example of the SEI score by company for each technical field in the technical field (H01L) calculated by Expression 14 above. In addition, FIG. 12 shows an example of calculation of the SEI score for each technical field company in the technical field of (G06F).
When the share of the number of inventions in the IPC subclass is large, the index of the emphasized PCPI (technical company-specific SEI score) forms an oligopoly by the company, and the larger the value, the more the company applies. It can be judged that the total capability of the technological development capability viewed from the invention in each IPC subclass is large.
In measuring the position of each company in the calculation of the emphasized PCPI, it is desirable to standardize the variation in the number of claims for each year by adding the data for the most recent three years. In addition, in order to deal with the difference in the number of claims filed by industry, it was found that it is more desirable to compare by share rather than by application size. Specifically, the number of claims of a company is calculated for each IPC subclass classification, and the value is set as the position of the company. By comparing the number of claims of each company according to the IPC subclass technical classification, comparisons in the same technical classification become possible.
Next, the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) used when calculating the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is defined.

FIG. 13 shows a calculation example of the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) calculated by the above equation 15.
The activity of technological development in each company is as seen in the trend of increasing the number of inventions such as the number of patent application claims. The superiority or inferiority cannot be determined by simple comparison only from the number of claims. For example, if the number of claims for a company is growing faster than the total number of claims for all industries, the company may have developed technology development capabilities that exceed the overall market. Can be considered high.
In the following examples, the average growth rate of the number of patent inventions in the most recent 3 years (average growth rate of patent application claims) is used, but the average growth rate in the current year may be used, or several years. An average elongation over a range may be used. Further, in the following embodiment, (1 + excess growth rate) is weighted and used to see the growth potential of each company. The reason for adding 1 is to avoid weighting 0 when the growth rate of the company = the growth rate of all companies.
)
Next, the excess growth rate used when calculating the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is defined.

FIG. 14 shows a calculation example of the excess growth rate calculated by the above equation 16.
Next, a calculation formula for calculating a patent competitiveness index (PCPI) in consideration of the excess growth rate is shown.

The Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) is a form of index that is included in the Corporate Competitiveness Index. The Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) is the competition status (oligopoly or competition) of each IPC subclass determined by the SEI index by company by technology field, the share of each company by technology field, and the excess growth rate (request for application from each company) And the degree of technological development competitiveness from the viewpoint of inventions such as patent applications.
Further, when calculating the patent competitiveness index, weighting the excess growth rate makes it possible to judge the competitiveness in consideration of the degree of growth and decline of the company. By weighting the excess growth rate in this way, the patent competitiveness index value can be calculated larger as the relationship rate of the number of patent application claims is higher. Therefore, it can be said that the greater the value of the patent competitiveness index is, the greater the overall capability of the technological development power viewed from the invention for which the company has applied.
11 and 12 show the number of inventions by company for each technical field for each company in a given technical field, SEI index by company for each technical field (patent competitiveness index A), patent competitiveness index B (PCPIB), and by technical field. An example in which a company-specific SEI score (emphasized PCPI or technical field-enhanced oligopoly score) is calculated is shown.
The calculation example shown in FIG. 11 is a calculation example in the case where the company B in the technical field “H01L” has a relatively large number of application claims as 70 compared to other companies. Therefore, the number of inventions by company in the technical field of the company B is 0.140, which is larger than that of other companies, and the number of inventions by company in the technical field (patent competitiveness index A (PCPIA) is 0.0196). And larger than other companies.
On the other hand, in the calculation example shown in FIG. 12, in the technical field “G06F”, the number of inventions of the company B by technical field is 70, which is the same as the number of inventions of the company B shown in FIG. This is an example of calculation when there is no difference in the number of application claims of each company, since the number of inventions of E by technical field is relatively large at 26 and 33, respectively. In the calculation example of FIG. 12, compared to the calculation example of FIG. 11, the difference in each value of the number of inventions by company in each technical field, the SEI index (patent competitiveness index A) by company in each technical field, and the emphasized PCPI. Is calculated less.
FIG. 13 is a table summarizing values of SEI scores by company (technical PCPI or emphasized oligopoly score by technical field) for each company calculated for each technical field.
The value of the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) when weighting by the excess growth rate of Company A is not weighted is calculated as 160.85 by Equation 15, and the value of the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) of Company B is 16 .22.
FIG. 14 shows the growth rate of the number of claims filed at each specific company (one form of the average growth rate of the number of inventions in the latest three years) and the average value of the growth rate of the number of claims of all companies (the latest of all companies) It is a graph which shows the excess growth rate calculated using Formula 16 using the average growth rate of the number of inventions in the third year.
As shown in the figure, the average growth rate of patent claims in Company A for the most recent 3 years is 5.0%, and the average growth rate of patent claims in the last 3 years for all companies is 2.3%. Therefore, it is calculated that the excess growth rate of company A = 5.0% −2.3% = 2.7% = 0.027. On the other hand, since the average growth rate of claims in the last three years of company B was -1.0%, excess growth rate of company B = -1.0% -2.3% =-3.3 % = 0.033 is calculated.
FIG. 15 is a chart showing the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) and the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) calculated based on the excess growth rate.
Since the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) of the company A was 160.85 and the excess growth rate was 2.7%, the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) = (160.85) × ( 1 + 0.027) = 165.19.
Similarly, since the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) of the company B is 16.22 and the excess growth rate is −3.3%, the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) = (16.22) according to the equation 17A. ) × (1−0.033) = 15.68.
FIG. 16 shows the distribution of calculation results when the horizontal axis represents the value of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) in logarithm and the vertical axis represents the number of companies.
In general, the distribution of patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is close to a normal distribution. Therefore, in the present invention, according to the value of the Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) obtained as described above, where each company is located in the distribution among all companies is ranked.
In FIG. 16, an example in which the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is expressed in logarithm on the horizontal axis is shown, but the present invention is not limited to logarithmic display, and may be expressed by normal distribution. Similarly to the Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI), the horizontal axis for the Patent Competitiveness Score, Standardized Patent Competitiveness Score, Corporate Competitiveness Index, Standardized Corporate Competitiveness Index, and Standardized Patent Competitiveness Index (avgPCPI) May be expressed as a logarithm, and the vertical axis may be expressed as the number of companies.
FIG. 17 shows an example of rank classification according to the patent competitiveness index (PCPI). In the example shown in the figure, according to the average value X and standard deviation σ of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI), the competitiveness related to the invention of a specific company is divided into five ranks according to the nature of the normal distribution.
FIG. 17 shows an example in which the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is ranked. Similar to the patent competitiveness index (PCPI), the patent competitiveness score, the standardized patent competitiveness score, and the corporate competitiveness index are shown. Further, ranking may be performed on the standardized company competitiveness index and the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI).
FIG. 18 is a chart showing the relationship between the star rank that expresses the competitiveness category related to the invention of a specific company by the number of stars and the type category name that expresses the competitiveness related to the invention as the type of company.
By expressing the position of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) of a specific company as the number of stars or the type of company, it is possible to express the competitiveness of the invention in an easy-to-understand manner. Even users who are not familiar with the classification of the IPC subclass can be notified of the competitiveness of the invention among a plurality of companies in an easy-to-understand manner.
In the above description, in order to highlight companies whose patent competitiveness index (PCPI) exceeds the average value X, the average value or more is classified into three ranks, but it may be further classified. Moreover, in order to make the enterprise below average value X stand out, the enterprise below average value may be divided finely.
Also, the range of classification is not limited to (X + σ) using standard deviation, but may be classified by looking at the distribution by making use of accumulated experience of those who classify.
FIG. 18 shows an example in which the star rank division and the type division are performed for the patent competitiveness index (PCPI), but the patent competitiveness score, the standardized patent competitiveness score, as with the patent competitiveness index (PCPI). The star rank classification and the type classification may be performed for the corporate competitiveness index, the standardized corporate competitiveness index, and the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI).
If Company A's Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) is in the top 2.28% to 16% of all companies, it will be identified as “★★★ ☆, Star Player” Notify users that they are competitive.
Similarly, if the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) of Company B is in the top 16% to 50%, it is judged as “★★ ☆☆, player” and the patent competitiveness is judged to be slightly inferior. The In addition, when calculating the type classification without weighting the excess growth rate only with the patent competitiveness index D (PCPID) of company A and company B, there is no change in the type classification classified in this example. It was. This is because the growth rate was not so different from the average growth rate of all companies. In the case of a company whose number of inventions has greatly grown or declined, weighting the excess growth rate is largely reflected in the calculation results.
Next, by dividing the Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) by the number of subclass classifications (number of technical fields) filed by each company, a standard that serves as an index indicating the degree of competitiveness per IPC subclass (per technical field) The patented competitiveness index (avgPCPI) will be described. The standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is a form of an index included in the standardized company competitiveness index. Hereinafter, the standardized patent competitiveness index will be referred to as avgPCPI (average Patent Competitive Position Index).
When a company's patent competitiveness index (PCPI) alone is used to compare and judge a company's patent competitiveness, it is equal between a major company with a broad technological development field and a company with competitiveness specialized in a certain technical field. May not be evaluated.
The Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) is the sum of competitiveness in the technical fields (for example, IPC subclass) that each company has applied for. The wider (the larger the number of IPC subclass classifications), the greater the value of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI).
On the other hand, it may be disadvantageous for companies with technical competitiveness specialized in a certain technical field. In order to correct such inequality, the calculated patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is normalized by dividing by the number of technical fields (for example, the number of IPC subclass classifications) that each company has applied for, It is the Standardized Patent Competitiveness Index (avgPCPI) that makes it possible to determine the competitiveness (per IPC subclass).
Even when the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is calculated, not only the main classification of the IPC subclass given in the published patent gazette is used, but the main classification and the subclass are used in combination. It may be counted equally as 5 cases, 0.5 subclasses, or weighted as 0.7 main categories and 0.3 subclasses to calculate the number of IPC subclasses. May be.
The calculation formula for calculating the normalized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is shown below.

Example:
Number of technical fields = 3-year average number of IPC subclasses
In the above example, it is assumed that the average number of IPC subclasses in the most recent three years is regarded as the average of the application tendency of companies, but only the year may be used, and normalization is performed using the average number of IPC subclasses in several years A patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) may be calculated.
For example, in the case of the company A shown in FIG. 15, if the IPC subclass 5 department has the average number in the last three years, the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is calculated as follows.

Similarly, in the case of the company B shown in FIG. 15, assuming that the IPC subclass 14 department has the average number in the last three years, the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is calculated as follows.

In this way, the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) of each company is calculated, and classified into five star ranks according to the same rules as the patent competitiveness index (PCPI). Depending on the results, the following predictions can be made.
If a company ranked in the “Player” rank in the Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) category is upgraded to a “Star Player” in the Standardized Patent Competitiveness Index (avgPCPI) category, the companies are compared. It can be thought that it possesses technology with strong strength.
Conversely, if a company that was a “star player” in the category of patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is downgraded to “star” in the category of standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI), It can be considered that there are not many strong technologies.
Generally, the standardized patent competitiveness index (avpgPCPI) is also used for ranking the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) in the same manner as when ranking the patent competitiveness index (PCPI). Since the logarithmic distribution is close to the normal distribution, the logarithmic axis is adopted. However, the present invention is not limited to the logarithm, and the normalized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) axis is a normal linear axis. The distribution may be calculated as
FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 show a display example in which the patent diversification index (PDI), patent competitiveness index (PCPI), and standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) of company A and company B are displayed together.
In the example shown in the figure, a patent diversification index (PDI) type division is placed on the horizontal axis of the table, and a patent competitiveness index (PCPI) or standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) division is plotted on the vertical axis. It is arranged.
In the example of the company A shown in FIG. 19, the division of the patent diversification index (PDI) on the horizontal axis is classified as “centralized”, and the division of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) on the vertical axis is “star player” (same as above). It can be judged at a glance that it is classified as (● position in the figure). Also, it can be understood at a glance that the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) has been upgraded to “superstar” (the position of the star in the figure).
In the example of company B shown in FIG. 20, the patent diversification index (PDI) on the horizontal axis is classified as “total type”, and the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) on the vertical axis is classified as “player” (FIG. 20). ● (marked with ●). It can also be seen that the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) has been downgraded to “by player” (the position of the star in the figure).
As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, together with the patent diversification index (PDI), one axis is represented as the patent competitiveness index (PCPI), and the other axis is represented as the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). By displaying the relevant ranks and categories in a tabular format, rather than simply determining the company's position by numbers or letters, the company's diversification type and patent competitiveness rank or standardized patent competitiveness rank positioning Can be understood at a glance and is useful as a material for corporate value judgment.
For example, when the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) of all companies is calculated and classified,
Company A's patent competitiveness index (PCPI) belongs to the top 2.28% to 16%, so it is assumed that the rank category is “star player”. Then, when the normalized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is calculated, it belongs to the top 2.28%, so it is assumed that it has been upgraded to “superstar”. In this case, it is considered that the company A has a relatively strong patent competitiveness and has a superior characteristic technique.
Conversely, for example, the value of the company B's patent competitiveness index (PCPI) belongs to the top 16% to 50%, so the rank classification is “player”. Then, when the value of the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is calculated, it belongs to the top 50% to 84%, so that it is downgraded to “by player”. In this case, it is considered that Company B does not have much powerful central technology.
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, one axis is a patent competitiveness index (PCPI), and the other axis is a standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). By displaying in combination, it becomes possible to clearly show the appearance and position of the company based on the invention.
In addition, when a company that was a “star player” in the category based on the numerical value of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is downgraded to a “player” in the category based on the numerical value of the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). However, it can be determined that the application area of the company increases the competitiveness of technology, but the competitiveness in each application field is not high. On the contrary, when the classification based on the value of the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) is upgraded from “player” to “star player”, the application area of the company is not so wide, so the relative technical competition Although the strength is not so high, it can be judged that the competitiveness in each technical field is high. Therefore, it is possible to concentrate on the overall patent competitiveness by displaying the classification of the type based on the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) and the classification based on the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) in association with each other. As a result, the status of companies with technological development capabilities can be further clarified, and the status of each company's technological development can be expressed more three-dimensionally.
FIG. 21 shows the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) of each company in a predetermined technical field and its ranking, the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) and its ranking, and the type classification based on the diversification index (PDI). The patent competitiveness index (PCPI) is a chart expressed in descending order.
FIG. 22 is a chart showing the same content as FIG. 21 in descending order of the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI).
A combination of FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 shows a combination of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI) and the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). It is possible to determine whether or not there is a strong central technology in association with the scale of diversification.
In FIG. 21, companies are arranged in order of numerical values of patent competitiveness index (PCPI), and in FIG. 22, companies are arranged in order of standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). Looking at these figures, companies that were ranked high in the patent competitiveness index (PCPI), such as IS and KW, were ranked low in the ranking of the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). There are companies that have become. In addition, companies such as RE and SA, which were positioned lower in the ranking of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI), looked higher in the ranking of the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). Some companies are out there.
In this way, by displaying the ranks of the Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) and the Standardized Patent Competitiveness Index (avgPCPI) together, is it a company that has relatively comprehensive technical capabilities in various fields? It is possible to consider and judge various positions related to the technological development of each company while comparing whether the company has a characteristic technology in a special field.
For example, as shown in the figure, IS and KW, which were third and fourth in the patent competitiveness index (PCPI), are 45th and 42nd in the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). And the rank is lower. Although these two companies have comprehensive technical capabilities in various fields, it can be determined that they do not have technologies that are characteristic in special fields.
On the other hand, MI has a high patent competitiveness index (PCPI) far from other companies. This is considered to indicate that inventions such as patents are most diversified. This degree of diversification works favorably in the direction of calculating a large value of the patent competitiveness index (PCPI). The large value of the Patent Competitiveness Index (PCPI) can be considered to surely reflect that MI has strong technical competitiveness. This is because even if patents and other inventions are diversified, if we do not secure a share in the technical field such as each IPC subclass, we will not be able to check other companies' research and development and patent applications. This is because only an excessively small value is added in the calculation of (PCPI).
Also, the fact that MI can file patent applications in the technical fields of a number of IPC subclasses can be considered as having accumulated much technical knowledge. Furthermore, MI can be considered as having 9th place in the standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) value and also possessing distinctive technology.
Therefore, MI is a very traditional company, and the accumulation of technology has been accumulated over many years, and it is considered that it has an overwhelming technological patent competitiveness.
In addition, TS is classified as “centralized” in the category based on the patent diversification index (PDI), ranked second in the ranking of patent competitiveness index (PCPI), and standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI). ) Is ranked first. This suggests that TS has strong technical competitiveness and has unique technologies.
In this way, by calculating and displaying the diversification index (PDI), patent competitiveness index (PCPI), and standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI), the company's technical capabilities and competitiveness can be quickly and more qualified. It becomes possible to judge. In addition, it is easy to compare with other companies with different management scales.
In FIG. 23, when calculating and outputting indices relating to technological development capabilities such as diversification index (PDI), patent competitiveness index (PCPI), and standardized patent competitiveness index (avgPCPI) when making corporate value judgments A flowchart is shown.
