Abstract

L'objectif de l'article est de proposer des lectures structurales de deux indicateurs de la qualité technologique des brevets : l'originalité et la généralité. Nous les transformons pour ce faire en des objets mathématiquesdes « graphes »et nous insistons sur des amendements et prolongements inspirés par cette nouvelle approche. Dans une première lecture, nous partons des indices originels et nous leur appliquons directement une représentation sous la forme de graphes. Dans une deuxième lecture, nous partons de matrices de flux technologiques et nous reconstruisons les indices de dispersion tels qu'ils ont été conçus initialement. Nous allons même un peu plus loin : nous proposons d'autres indices de la qualité technologique à partir de ces matrices, dont un qui nous semble de portée supérieure pour apprécier cette qualité. ABSTRACT. The aim of this article is to propose the structural readings of two indicators of the technological quality of patents: originality and generality. To do so, we transform them into mathematical objects-graphs-and insist on amendments and extensions inspired by this new approach. In the first reading, we start from the original indices and we directly apply a representation in the form of graphs to them. In the second reading, we start from the technological flow matrices and reconstruct the dispersion indices as they were originally conceived. We go even further by proposing other indices of technological quality from these matrices, including one that seems to have a greater scope for assessing this quality. MOTS-CLÉS. Brevet, technologie, théorie des graphes.
