This study analyzes the intellectual property competitiveness indicators of Korea which presents the complex indicators as the measuring indicators of intellectual property and of the indicators to be compared and Korea has the remarkable competitiveness at the aspect of quantitative creation but shows the big difference from the compared indicators at the aspect of the other qualitative creation. Especially, intellectual property environment among the basic indicators shows the low correlation coefficient value of under 0.7 at almost the whole items and intellectual property environment was appeared to be relatively insignificant. Accordingly, in case of Korea, the development of indicators considering the qualitative creation in developing the new complex indicators is seemed to be required.
Although there is the limit that, at present, the method to measure intellectual property indicators and the indicators items are not internationally unified and, except for the hard data utilized in the existing indicators items, it is difficult to secure the reliability of qualitative data, the development of indicators which play the role in properly analyzing the effects on the international trade and the economic benefit as the intellectual property indicators seems to be the factor which is surely required.
