Abstract

This research is aimed at identifying the trend of technology and time emergence of the dominant design of inkjet printer and NC machine by using F-term in Japanese Patent. F-term was employed instead of International Patent Classification (IPC) because of the multi view point of the theme and it provides the certain technical area. The firm‘s product entering time to the market was evaluated to the S curve of the product lifecycle and technology life cycle was also investigated.
