创新战略背景下专利权质押融资的障碍与对策

科技创新的载体是以专利为代表的知识产权,专利权作为无形资产能不能从技术优势变为资金优势,是创新战略能否实施的关键。因此如何发挥专利技术的融资功能至为重要;我国民法虽构建了完整的专利权质押制度,但该制度在实践中的运转尚存在诸多问题,本文拟从专利权质押的性质与特征入手,通过对专利权质押融资实践中面临的障碍及原因进行分析,提出了解决困境的相关对策与途径。

专利运营基金:域外实践与本土探索

开放式创新加速了价值链的专业化分工,专利价值的实现方式也呈现多元化趋势,各种新兴的专利基金不断塑造出崭新的商业模式。对国外典型专利基金类型进行了系统分析,梳理了中国政府近年来在促进专利基金运营方面的政策努力,选取深圳中彩联科技有限公司、天津滨海国际知识产权交易所和睿创专利运营基金为样本,探讨了本土专利基金的实践探索与运营瓶颈。在《专利法》第四次修改的背景下,具体从专利运营的政策优化、专利诉讼的法律因应、专利投资的风险管控以及专利滥用的反垄断规制4个层面,提出了专利运营基金的完善路径。     

Global knowledge flow and Japanese multinational firms’ offshore R&D allocation and innovation

This paper examines whether allocating more research and development (R&D) activities to a country-industry pair with a higher intensity of knowledge flows improves the innovation performance of multinational enterprises (MNEs). We use firm-patent-matched data for Japanese manufacturing MNEs, including data on MNEs’ offshore R&D expenditure and information on patents filed by both parent firms and overseas affiliates. Moreover, as a proxy for the intensity of knowledge flows, we use the eigenvector centrality of each country-industry pair in the global knowledge flow network, utilizing patent citation information.We find that the quality-adjusted number of patent applications tends to be higher for MNEs that allocate more R&D activities to country-industry pairs that are more central in the network of global knowledge flows. However, we did not find any significant relationship between the country and industry distribution of offshore R&D and the number of patent applications.     

A methodology to position nations’ efforts in a technology domain with a patent network analysis: case of the electric vehicle domain

When a nation is making strategies in a technology domain, it makes sense to know where the nation is currently in the domain and to know where other nations are as well. This paper presents a method to position nations’ efforts in a technology domain. The method builds a network of International Patent Classifications (IPCs) based on their co-occurrence in patent applications and applies an index called the Revealed Patent Application Advantage (RPAA), which reflects where nations’ efforts have been spent in a technology domain denoted as the IPC network. We applied the proposed method to position the efforts that have been spent in the electric vehicle (EV) technology domain by mainland China, Germany, Japan, and the United States.     

An integrated indicator system for patent portfolios: evidence from the telecommunication manufacturing industry

Against the background of ‘patent portfolio races’ in industries such as telecommunications, this paper proposes a set of patent portfolio indicators to measure patents’ scale and diversity. This indicator system is used in a time series to analyse the patenting activity and technology strategy of the world’s top 20 firms in the telecommunication manufacturing industry, based on a large data set from United States Patent and Trade Office. In combination with composite and relative measures, we identify the firms’ comparative positions in patenting activity. The paper adds to the ongoing discussion about, and enriches the theory of, patent portfolios.     

跨国并购专利交易的税务问题

影响跨国并购中专利交易的一个重要影响因素就是税负考量。外资并购中国企业的专利交易所涉国内税主要为所得税、营业税等。中国企业海外并购当地的专利技术需关注当地的税务问题。国际或双边协调机制对于跨国专利技术转移具有重要作用。     

A hybrid selection model for emerging technology

Technology selection, which influences the advantages of an enterprise or a country, is a multi-criteria decision issue that can be improved by integrating different methods. In addition, it is more and more difficult to identify the right technologies because the technologies are increasing in number and complexity. This study proposes a technology selection process integrating fuzzy Delphi method, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and patent co-citation approach (PCA) for technology selection. The former effectively gathers experts' judgments toward technology selection criteria and conducts the fuzziness existing in their responses. The analytic hierarchy process has the strength of identifying criteria and obtaining their relationship and their weights. The patent co-citation approach identifies the major R&D fields of a specific technology from patent data. Through this proposed process, the key technology fields can be identified in the end. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology in Taiwan is used to be an example to illustrate the proposed technology selection process.     

Can patent family size and composition signal patent value?

Recent research has proposed a method of patent valuation based on weighting patent family size by the market size of the countries in the family. The premise is that inventors tend to seek greater international coverage for their more valuable patents. The paper presents a novel way to test the ability of market size-weighted patent families to predict patent value and compares the method against extant measures of patent valuation based on patent citations and renewal behaviour. We use forecasting techniques to show that the weighted patent family size measure outperforms other methods in terms of predicting patent life and the number of citations. An advantage of the weighted patent family size measure is that it is based on ex-ante information and is easy to construct for purposes of evaluating patent value. We demonstrate this advantage using a large, comprehensive database of international patent families.
