Universities have increasingly possessed many patents since the enactment of Science & Technology Basic Law in Taiwan. However, universities find that it is difficult to effectively valuate and commercialize these patents. Based on 152 patents of National Tsing Hua University received from 1999 to 2008, the paper conducts patent valuation via an expert questionnaire survey. Factor analysis and cluster analysis are deployed to classify four strategic groups of these patents. Finally, commercial strategy is tailor-made to every patent strategic group, respectively.
