Abstract

<p>This paper examines the effect of patent application network formed by small and medium enterprises which seem to strategically carry out patent application on other companies in the same industry. Concretely, O company which was the market leader of the nursing bath equipment industry was made to be an analysis object. The three major companies, including Company O, have increased their market share in the nursing care bathing equipment market and are now forming an oligopolistic market. Assuming that Company O's patent application network contributes to the acquisition of market share, we estimated Company O's patent application strategy from the number of applications, transition, filing time, content, etc., and confirmed whether it contributes to the prevention of the acquisition of rights to applications by two competing companies. Then, the relationship between characteristics of the application of O company and the IP strategy is examined.</p>
