解説
問 6
Incorrectア
This lists only a, but the effects of patenting are not limited to setting favorable terms in an alliance (a). Recovering development cost through licensing (b) and preventing other companies from entering (c) are also directly obtainable effects, and excluding them makes this choice inappropriate.
Incorrectイ
This lists a and b, but omits c “you can prevent other companies from entering”. The most essential effect of a patent right is preventing other companies from entering by means of the exclusive right (c), and leaving it out makes this choice inappropriate.
- ウ
正解 Patenting means obtaining a patent right for your company’s own technology, and a patent right is an exclusive right that lets you “work an invention exclusively as a business”. Because of this nature, a-c are all effects that can be directly obtained through patenting. a: Holding a patent right as a bargaining chip, you can assert the value of your own technology when forming an alliance (partnership) with another company and draw out favorable terms. b: Because a patent right can be licensed to others to earn royalties, you can recover part of the development cost through license income. c: Thanks to the exclusive right, you can prevent other companies that have not obtained a license from entering products or businesses that use the same technology. Therefore the appropriate items are all of a, b, and c, and the answer is ウ.
Incorrectエ
This lists b and c, but omits a “you can set favorable terms in an alliance”. A patent right is a powerful asset in partnership negotiations, and setting favorable terms (a) is also a directly obtainable effect, so leaving it out is inappropriate.
ここがポイント
- A patent right is an exclusive right to work an invention exclusively as a business, and it directly yields three effects: (1) preventing other companies from entering, (2) royalty income through licensing (recovering development cost), and (3) an advantageous position in partnership negotiations.
- In the format of “listing all and only the appropriate items” from multiple descriptions, judge one by one whether each description qualifies as a correct effect, and select them without excess or omission.
