Abstract
This paper provides the technology structure analysis and the technology field clustering through the analyses of patent classification codes with link mining method. Knowledge extraction from patent information has been made thus far, but conventional patent analysis methods depend on personal heuristic knowledge. It makes it hard to extract the technology structure. We are focusing on classification codes in the patent. They are assigned to capture the technology fields of patent. With the proposed method, we are succeeding in the clustering of various technology fields.
