智慧型手機、平板電腦、行動娛樂裝置等智慧行動終端產品，已成為目前電子產品中大家所關注之顯學。而Apple更為各類智慧行動終端產品之領先佼佼者，透過每一項新產品之問世，憑藉獨到眼光與發明，Apple在貼近人性需求的產品功能之掌握、人機介面操作之演進、產品外觀設計之突破，甚或應用服務與商業模式之創新，均牢牢抓住全球消費者之目光，並觸動內心購買之慾望。然而，Apple產品背後強大的專利權布局，及其透過對競爭對手的專利訴訟，均使得Apple在熱門的智慧行動終端產品市場上，成功引領產品規格風潮，並阻斷競爭對手透過模仿取得市場地位。本研究透過對智慧行動終端市場趨勢、產品趨勢的分析，解析Apple在智慧行動終端相關的專利分析，了解Apple在智慧行動終端的專利布局，推測其對於智慧行動終端產品發展的想法。 隨著智慧行動終端產品市場的持續成長，開放式的Android作業系統平台將在智慧行動終端產品市場中，持續擴大市場占有率；但也由於Android系統的開放性，以及快速增加的品牌供應商，將導致產品間的差異化變得困難，市場的競爭加劇。欲由產品硬體規格提升，刺激消費購買的差異化策略，則難以支撐品牌供應商保有長期的競爭優勢；透過應用軟體服務的開發，以及使用者介面設計的能力深化，才是永續經營保有市占的企業經營重點。 綜觀Apple在智慧行動終端產品相關的專利布局重點，長期則以使用者介面設計為專利布署主力。發展上則多以使用者介面、應用軟體、操作選單、硬體零組件、元件的控制等一系列的完整解決方案，進行應用與產品的專利包圍布局；而在專利內容的中心思想，則以消費者未滿足的需求出發，緊扣使用者經驗的改善，透過操作流程的解析，作為專利內涵的發展主軸。 在智慧行動終端產品應用趨勢發展下，顯示器與觸控面板模組技術發展仍扮演重要角色。Apple在顯示器與觸控面板模組的專利布局部分，過去已大量取得觸控相關的專利成果，近期在顯示器面板模組的專利申請數量分布趨勢，則仍持續呈現逐年成長的態勢。 在近期市場一片看好的近場通訊技術應用部分，Apple則自2004年起開始展開相關專利布局；唯在申請數量上並無顯著而長期的投入，僅在2008年有較大規模的相關專利申請。但仔細研究Apple在近場通訊相關的專利布局，則可發現其對於採用近場通訊技術應用於行動支付、行動票務、多電子裝置的遙控應用上均已有思考布局。 對於Appl
