Abstract
This study explores the issues regarding intellectual management and cross-strait high-tech cooperation. Chapter One “Introduction” presents the research motives, the research purposes, the research methods, the research scope and limitations, and the research structure of this study. Chapter Two “Literature Review” shows the analyses and comparisons of literature obtained from the National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan, the Taiwan Law Database, the LawBank Legal Database, and other library and online databases, and the research value of this study based on the research content and the cross-field uniqueness. Chapter Three discusses the content of intellectual property management, the core of this study. Many enterprises have gradually transformed, with intangible property as their main structures. Therefore, how to well manage their intellectual property has become a decisive factor. However, there is no unanimously agreed view on intellectual property management. Therefore, this chapter begins with studying the content of knowledge and analyses of the relationship between knowledge and intellectual property. Secondly, this chapter discusses how to apply knowledge management and the corresponding effects. Through knowledge management, organizations can make innovation in their knowledge and transform the knowledge into intellectual property inside them. Together with the systematic application of intellectual property management, the effects of their intellectual property can be maximized, bringing innovation and competitiveness to these organizations. In the summary of this chapter, the scope of intellectual property and the content of intellectual property management are defined, as the bases for the follow-up discussions. Chapter Four explores the content of high-tech cooperation. From the essence of technology, it is understood that engaging in high-tech R&D is a high-risk behavior. It requires cooperation to obtain a great deal of funds and manpower to support R&D. In the aspect of high-tech cooperation in Taiwan, according to the analysis of the current statuses, breakthrough can be made to change the present situation in Taiwan if cross-strait high-tech cooperation can be facilitated. Thus, based on the intellectual property summarized in Chapter Three, this chapter analyzes the four-step theory of cross-strait technical cooperation proposed by “A Study on the Theories, Practices & Governance Mechanism in Facilitating Cross-strait Energy Technology Cooperation”, and believes that the theory fully applies the thoughts of intellectual property management and applies it to cross-strait high-tech cooperation, constructing clear and specific processes and structures. Chapter Five analyzes the PV technology case of implementation according to the four-step theory for cooperation discussed in “A Study on the Theories, Practices & Governance Mechanism in Facilitating Cross-strait Energy Technology Cooperation”, and checks the feasibility of the four-step theory for cooperation applied in the case in order to prove the importance of intellectual property management for high-tech cooperation. Finally, Chapter Six is the conclusion. This chapter evaluates the feasibility of the four-step theory for cooperation in intellectual property management and reviews the practice of the four-step theory in the PV technology case of cross-strait high-tech cooperation. Lastly, the theories and the practical experiences are summed up and a basic structure and some suggestions regarding future cross-strait high-tech cooperation are provided. It is hoped that, through this study, innovative and competitive high-tech industries can go beyond the traditional thoughts of intellectual property limited in attacking and defending of intellectual property rights and use the advantages of intellectual property management instead, so that enterprises can systematically plan and arrange their intellectual property, directly include intellectual property management in their management strategies, make plans of R&D, manufacturing, and production from sources, remove potential threats, predict future market trends, and create win-win situations by cooperating with other enterprises to replace competing. This way, intellectual property management can lead enterprises toward breakthrough, changes, and innovation.
