TIPO commissioned the Patent Search Center (PSC) to complete two patent landscape studies in 2025—one on drone power systems and another on advanced packaging materials for silicon photonic components. The analysis reports provide strategic insight for industry and R&D institutions.

The study on drone power systems highlights the wide-ranging applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and notes that power technologies are a critical determinant of market competitiveness. Taiwan ranks seventh worldwide in patent filings in this field. The report recommends strengthening licensing, joint R&D, or consortium-based collaboration to better connect academic research with industrial deployment and to build a complete “invention-to-market value” patent chain.

The analysis on advanced packaging materials for silicon photonic components points to Taiwan’s strengths in electronic packaging and photonic interconnect technologies. It recommends proactively securing patents in key technologies and pursuing international collaboration to overcome technical bottlenecks and reinforce Taiwan’s global leadership in semiconductors.
