The findings show that: 1. The number of patents of Hon Hai were 5058 during this period:the top five patents, electrical connector (789 piece), electrical card connector (161 piece), cable connector assembly(117 piece), electrical connector assembly(78 piece) and card edge connector(49 piece), are in the most intensive area of the network, and can be classified into the "process innovation"; 2. The number of patents of TSMC were 480: the top five patents,semiconductor device and fabrication method thereof(10 piece),semiconductor structure(9 piece), resolving pattern-loading issues of sige stressor(7 piece), semiconductor device(6 piece),semiconductor device and fabricating method thereof(6 piece) ,are in the most intensive area of the network, and can be classified into the "process innovation"; 3. The number of patents of HTC were 272: the top five patents,mobile phone(27 piece), handheld electronic device(12 piece),handheld electronic device(11 piece), electronic device(10 piece),a portable electronic device(9 piece), are in the most intensive area of the network, and can be classified into the " product innovation".
