GWD-8-Q7 to GWD-8-Q10:(專利題)

[bonus]

GWD-8-Q8:
The passage suggests which of the following about patenting in the semiconductor industry during the period from 1982 to 1992 ?

A. The declining number of citations per semiconductor patent in the technical literature undermines the notion that patenting activity increased during this period.
B. A decline in patent quality forced firms to change the way they managed the patenting process.
C. Increased efficiencies allowed firms to derive more patents from existing research and development expenditures.
D. Firms’ emphasis on filing patents for strategic purposes may have contributed to a decline in patent quality.
E. Firms’ attempts to derive more patents from existing research and development expenditures may have contributed to a decline in infringement suites.
選D

從文章23-36行的意思
答案是否應該是E？？？

這樣就有點過度推論了~~~E中may have contributed to a "decline" in infringement suites要正確也應該是increase吧?

此題答案為D,請問為何不能選A?
L21有說between 1982 and 1992, the industry's most feverish period of patenting, L29也說patenting activity at semiconductor firms increased in the 1980's.
我覺得A好像也沒問題.....

回覆GWD-8-Q8:
我把思路提供給你做參考~~請多多指教

1.首先注意題目的關鍵字
The passage suggests(要的是更深層的涵義)which of the following about patenting in the semiconductor industry during the period from 1982 to 1992 (推出在 passage 中深層的涵義的主題) ?

2.找出主題在passage 中的位置,並找出因果關係
Ziedonis and Hall,
for example(看懂上面的定義，舉例就略讀), found that
investment in research and
development (a reasonable
proxy for innovation) did
(20) not substantially increase
between 1982 and 1992,
the industry’s most feverish
period of patenting. Instead,(重點在後)
semiconductor firms simply
(25) squeezed more patents out
of existing research and
development expenditures.
Moreover, Ziedonis and
Hall found that as patenting
(30) activity at semiconductor
firms increased in the
1980’s, the consensus
among industry employees
was that the average quality
(35) of their firms’ patents
declined.(此句話才是主題要推出的涵義---當patenting activity↑→quality↓)
當patenting activity↑→quality↓
在這因果關係中,有gap,沒說明為何quality↓

於是在本文中,出現以下這段來說明:
This decline in
(45) quality may be related to
changes in the way semiconductor
firms managed
their patenting process:
rather than patenting to win
(50) exclusive rights to a valuable
new technology, (rather than出現，重點在第二句)patents
were filed more for strategic
purposes, to be used as
bargaining chips to ward
(55) off infringement suites(擋住別人的侵略) or
as a means to block
competitors’ products.
因此,推得更深層的涵義為:
有兩個strategic purposes→quality↓(跟"答案D"的因果關係一樣)

若把原題主題串聯起來,會更清楚:
當patenting activity↑(原題主題)→strategic purposes(更深層的涵義)→quality↓

然而,在選項A中,錯在undermines
文章中並無提及:semiconductor patent 在科技文獻變少,而會削弱patenting activity increased

The declining number of citations per semiconductor patent in the technical literature undermines the notion that patenting activity increased during this period.

Q8:
The passage suggests which of the following about patenting in the semiconductor industry during the period from 1982 to 1992 ?
A. The declining number of citations per semiconductor patent in the technical literature undermines the notion that patenting activity increased during this period.
B. A decline in patent quality forced firms to change the way they managed the patenting process.
C. Increased efficiencies allowed firms to derive more patents from existing research and development expenditures.
D. Firms’ emphasis on filing patents for strategic purposes may have contributed to a decline in patent quality.
E. Firms’ attempts to derive more patents from existing research and development expenditures may have contributed to a decline in infringement suites.

請問為何不能選E
E選項也是在文章中有提及的.......@ @

我想錯的原因在於答案與定位區塊的概念不同
題目問1982-1992
所以定位line21 行找答案
line 21的概念在講 patent=> quality下降
所以D最好

E 雖然文中有提到 但與定位點概念不同

[quote="nexxt0722"]第七題,個人支持C:the connection between patenting and innovation in the semiconductor industry during the period from 1982 to 1992



這一題在PP測驗裡有出現，正確答案是C，請參考。
