The development of patents (drafting for new applications, creating value through prosecution and strategic patent portfolio development) regarding IoT innovation should consider the IoT business reality. Especially, the IoT patent development should support future development of IoT businesses and commercial implementations of IoT innovations. Additionally, the IoT patent development should support for both ecosystem players’ exploitation and customers’ use of the IoT innovation. The disclosures of the IoT patent can be considered as a system that is consist of several subsystems: environmental context, IoT sensor, information, transfer mean and processing tool.
As the connected car market glows, LTE is becoming the main connectivity technology not only for the V2X (vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-person, vehicle-to- roadside unit) communications but also for providing value added services (e.g., infotainment).For example, the 2015 Audi A3 LTE connectivity service includes navigation with Google Earth and Street View, weather and event information. Thus, one may expect that the increasing use of LTE can make the automotive sector a new patent dispute battleground

As a part of developing the IoT patent prosecution strategy, USPTO prosecution history file wrappers for 192 patent applications regarding the key IoT applications are reviewed and analyzed. The192 patent applications regarding the key IoT applications mostly filed within three years. They cover Home Automation, Home Security, Home Energy/Utility Management System, Home Safety Monitoring, Home Lighting System, Vehicle Accident Avoidance System, Vehicle Control Automation, Vehicle Navigation System, Vehicle Maintenance/Diagnostic/Alert System, Vehicular Communication System, Vehicle Infotainment System, Fitness Management System, Health ICT System, Health Management System, Medication Management System, Physical Activity Monitoring, Physiological Monitoring System, Sleep Monitoring System, and Telemedicine System.
The most cited rejection ground in the first non-final office action (OA) was 103. The 103 rejection ground accounted for 74 % (143/192) of the total patent applications. For other rejection grounds, 102 accounted for 55 % (106/192); 112 accounted for 33 % (64/192); 101 accounted for 16 % (30/192) of the total patent applications. Among 168 issued patents 32 patents allowed without any rejection (excluding double patenting rejection), which accounted for 19 %.

從圖四可見到過去幾年新增樓宇加按貸款的數據,於2005年,美國人從新增樓宇加按
貸款所得的款項為5950億美元,這金額成了某種形式的消費支出,不要忘記如上文所
說,這對GDP增長貢獻達3%. 而2006年的樓宇加按貸款為6882億,07年已跌至470億.

今年第二季度的新增樓宇加按貸款更大減至只有95億美元.

樓價持續下跌
事實上,我們可從美國樓價可看出加按貸款下跌的原因.從圖五可見,美國全國樓
價指數於06年增長開始放緩.07年樓價開始下跌,至今年8月尾樓價比去年同期已
經下跌16%.當樓價上升時,物業當然可加按,但樓價下跌,業主不但不能加按,還
可能成為負資產.除此之外,銀行收緊信貸也是其中一個原因.在樓價沒有止跌回升
及銀行大幅收緊信貸的環境下,於可見之未來加按貸款將比之前幾年大幅減少,這
個為美國人過往很重要之消費金錢來源將不復再.
總結
以上研究指出樓宇加按貸款是美國個人消費的重要資金來源.樓宇加按貸款是推動
消費的重要因素,繼而推動經濟增長.在現時新增樓宇加按貸款大幅減少下,個人消

費資金來源也大減.美國經濟要真轉好相信先要樓價止跌回升,及銀行回復正常借
貸,從而令個人消費增長回升.
