Comparative analysis of core and emerging technologies between Mainland China and Taiwan based on patent citation network

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) utility patents granted to Mainland China during 2000-2012, core technologies and most important emerging technologies of Mainland China are identified by analyzing the patent citation network. The result is compared with the result of Cho & Shih who analyzed the situation of Taiwan. It is proved that though Mainland China and Taiwan are highly similar in core technologies and competitive advantages, they still have much more to cooperate because of the difference in the stage of development of core technologies and the emergence of emerging technologies in both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Key words: core technology, emerging technology, identification, patent citation network
