Abstract: Analysis of patent data is important tool for industrial 
research. Patent analysis has been used in many research fields and 
applied for rich topics in technology management. This study was explored 
the classification and research development of patent analysis literatures 
for 24 years (1980-2003) and applied by evolutional perspectives, and 
bibliometrics techniques. The research scope is focused on business and 
management level. There were some significant literatures retrieved from 
online electronic database and a citation database was built by their 
references. After that, the study was analyzed by multivariate methods to 
classify research taxonomy and literatures relative positions. The study 
was expected to understanding of current situation of patent analysis 
research. Additionally, the main purposes of this study were to synthesize 
core knowledge and research trends in research fields, to point out the 
major contributors and influential journals, to understand their 
positions, and to explore evolution life cycle. The research results are 
classified into five research fields, namely the sources of technology 
knowledge, patent applications and patent value, patent research anti 
technology position, the indicators of technological and innovative 
activities, and interdisciplinary applications.
