摘要 近年來，科技發展日新月異，智慧財產權漸成公司不可或缺的重要資產。專利權更是其中最重要的部份。具先進技術及創意的專利，能為高科技產業公司帶來龐大競爭優勢及鉅額獲利。如何正確的運用專利權及評估專利價值，是影響公司價值的重要關鍵。 本篇論文以簡介各種智慧財產權為始，其中智慧財產權又可細分為四大類:專利權、商標權、著作權以及商業秘密。接著探討適用不同專利生命週期時的各種策略。最後分析各種不同的專利鑑價方式及專利授權方式。其中專利鑑價方式可以分為成本法、市場比較法、獲利法以及實質選擇權法，對於公司在買賣及授權專利，甚至公司合併都有一定的幫助。

Abstract In the past few years, due to the change of the market environment, intellectual property has become a very important asset for many companies. Patent is especially important compared to other types of intellectual property. In high technology industries, a well-designed and creative patent can bring a company great advantage and big profit. How to correctly value and manage the patent becomes a very important issue for a company. This thesis first introduces the basic concept of intellectual property which can be divided into four different types: Patent, Copyright, Trademark, and Trade Secret. It then discusses the different strategies that may be used in the different periods of the life-cycle. Furthermore, the different patent valuations and license are explained. The patent valuations include Cost Approach, Market Approach, Income Approach and Real Option Approach, which are very useful when a company wants to buy, sell, or license the patent, as well as merge or acquire other companies.
