碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 智慧財產研究所 === 97 === In the past one hundred years, the development of Taiwan film industry has gone through many arduous and crucial stages, including politically planned prohibition, bridles from government, and global competition. Ever since then, there are hardly successful cases. The so-called "Taiwan Cinema" might provide very much IP (intellectual property) to the film industry; however, the value of IP could not be merchandised well at all. It's difficult to make the IP of "Taiwan Cinema" be consumed by audience or consumers. Today, the creativity of Taiwan cinema production is absolutely sufficient, and properly conjugated to IP, nevertheless, the realization of creativity value still fails to get the balance between art, culture and marketability. A "movie" intrinsically consists of multiple creativity, and which is concretized with legal system to make intellectual property rights (IPR) come into being. And then, the IP can be applied to business strategies. Therefore, the business strategies ought to be critical to the IP value in mass market. In other words, paying to much attention on the legal protection and administrative policies may not be proper. In 2008, the movie "Cape No. 7" achieved many expectations of many people. Despite the demolished box office records, the film production team seems not to actively commercialize the IP from this movie, and so do many Taiwan cinemas after "Cape No. 7". In order to clarify the commercial relationship between the box office performance and the value of IP application, this study is going to discuss the situation of IP commercialization of movie "Cape No. 7". On the other sides, this study will also point out the challenges Taiwan film industry is just undergoing at present, and try to provide appropriate suggestion based on the views of IP commercialization and IP marketing. Finally, this study will conclude the findings and comments to establish the “Compositions of Market Value of Films with Value Generation Model” and innovative means of IP operation in Taiwan film industry.
