Causality-Driven Patent Valuation: Integrating Domain Knowledge and Language Models in a Structured Interview-Like Selection Process
摘要
Patents are essential for securing market leadership and protecting intellectual property, but traditional valuation methods often fail to fully capture their strategic value. This paper introduces a causality-driven framework for patent valuation that integrates domain expertise with advanced language models in a structured interview-like process. By analyzing semiconductor patents filed between 1997 and 2007-a pivotal period of technological transformation-our approach employs Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and Structural Equation Models (SEMs) to reveal causal relationships, providing precise value attribution. This integration enhances the analysis of complex patent data, offering a powerful tool for aligning technological innovation with market and legal strategies.
