Title A Patenting View of ITS: Taiwan and China
Author Yen-Chun Jim Wu, Pi-Ju Lee
Summary   MITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) was long regarded as a useful solution to solving the transportation dilemma by many industrialized nations. Although much work in Taiwan has been conducted on ITS, most of it emphasized much on imitating ITS development overseas and often overlooked important patent implications. To develop successful ITS techniques truely needed in Taiwan in the future, this paper attempts to portray current ITS development using patent mapping analysis to data mining patent databases. It is found that although the AVCSS is the main force in global ITS patent databases at present, other ITS-related categories still have superior commercial potential in various ITS markets. It is confirmed in this study that ITS-related patents can also generate much useful insight into the current development and future prospect of ITS.
