碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 94 === The characteristics of the industry of immuno-diagnostic reagents are high cost, collaboration and strategy alliance. The patents are necessary for immuno-diagnostic companies to protect their intellectual property. Therefore, it has to analyze patents in the fields of immuno-diagnostic reagents when Taiwan’s companies enter the industry. The immuno-diagnostic reagent is one kind of In Vitro Diagnostics. The theory of immuno-diagnostic reagents is that the antigen combines the antibody to make unique reaction and then the reagents can analyze the quality or capacity by the reactions. The advantages of immuno-diagnostic reagents are high sensitivity, easy using, cheap and widespread applications. The categories of immuno-diagnostic reagents are infectious disease, endocrine, tumor, allergic reactions, drug misapplied and blood test. The market of immuno-diagnostic reagents is occupied more than one-third market of In Vitro Diagnostics now and it will grow in the future. In the field of immuno-diagnostic reagents, Abbott Laboratories, Bayer Diagnostic and Becton Dickinson are the leader companies. Their patents focus on blood test, immune test and reagent design. If Taiwan’s companies want to enter the industry, they can’t focus on the three fields. They have to concentrate on different fields to get the niche market.
