Abstract
긴 개발기간과 낮은 성공확률 및 막대한 R&D 비용을 요구하는 제약산업의 특수성은 신약개발 성공 시 개발에 투자된 막대한 재원 회수를 위해 특허의 중요성이 제약분야에도 부각되고 있다. 하지만 현재 제약분야에서의 특허관련 연구가 미흡하여 중요 연구개발 영역 및 국제적인 추세의 파악이 쉽지 않은 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국과 미국 특허청에 등록되어 있는 의약품특허현황을 비교 분석을 통해 각국의 집중 연구개발 영역 및 특성을 파악하였다. 특히 특허 연결망 분석과 계량서지학적 인용분석을 활용하여 미국과 한국의 의약품특허의 특성을 파악하였으며, 미국과 한국 모두에서 '유기 활성 성분을 함유 하는 의약품 제재'와 연관된 제법특허 분야가 주요 연구개발 영역으로 파악되었다. 추가적으로 특허 명칭의 텍스트 마이닝을 통해 키워드 관점에서의 미국과 한국의 연구분야의 차이를 비교하였으며, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 의약품특허의 가치에 영향을 미치는 특허 특성을 파악하였다. 분석결과를 기반으로 국내 제약사는 국내에서 강점을 보인 A61B (Diagnosis; surgery; identification) 분야 가운데 'Active Drug (활성약물)'과 'Antibody Drug (항체약물)'에 관한 집중적인 연구개발을 통해 세계적으로 우위를 점할 것을 제시하였다. 더불어, 약물전달시스템과 유도체에 대한 국내제약사의 출원 및 등록이 미미함을 인지하고, 이러한 분야에 대한 제약사들의 발 빠른 대응과 만료기간이 남지 않은 저평가된 의약품특허에 대한 제네릭 의약품 공략을 준비할 것을 추가적으로 제시하였다.
The patent protection in pharmaceuticals have become increasingly important as it takes too long and costs too much to success in developing new drug. However, as only few studies have dealt with the pharmaceutical patents, it is hard to figure out the degree and the intensity of R&D in pharmaceuticals. Therefore, this paper applies patent network analysis and bibliometric citation analysis to compare the characteristics and the intensive research fields in pharmaceuticals between U.S and KR. Furthermore, we identify the concentrated research fields from key-word perspective and the characteristics of valuable pharmaceutical patents through the text mining and logistic regression, respectively. For these analyses, we use both KIPO and USPTO patent data associated with approved by each nation's individual food and drug organizations. The results show that both countries have concentrated on developing process patents related to 'Medicinal preparations containing organic active ingredients'. This paper propose that (1) The KOREA pharmaceuticals more concentrate on research and development related to ‘Active Drug’ and ‘Antibody Drug’among A61B (Diagnosis; surgery; identification) fields which achieved a success in Korea in order to dominate the world market and (2) pharmaceuticals quickly respond to the research fields related to Drug Delivery System' and ‘Derivative' where they have done a poor job of applying and registering patents. Targeting undervalued, soon-to-be-expired patents of generic drugs is advisable as well.
