Abstract

To understand quantitatively how hi-tech enterprise cooperates with others in patent application over time is of great importance, for it affects how cooperative mechanism is organized and technology transferred. In this research, we construct the patent cooperation network IETTN from 2008–2017 in Z-Park to measure the overall structure of the network and the changes of nodes in the network, thus providing a new measurement for the innovation cooperation of high-tech enterprises from the perspective of the network. With the continuous expansion of patent cooperation among high-tech enterprises, enterprises’ roles in the cooperative network and innovation ecosystem are quite different. Through analysis, it can be found that the Z-Park patent cooperation network presents an obvious scale-free feature, and a few large state-owned enterprises and research institutions are playing a leading role in the network.

Summary

Introduction

The process of economic globalization and the acceleration of innovation speed make a region face the opportunities and challenges of international and domestic. This is an Open Access article published by World Scientific Publishing Company. Within knowledge-based economies, public sector actors such as universities[4] and government support system[5] can give birth to new technology and provide impetus and channels to technology cooperation and transfer, which will affect the innovation output level of the whole region. Considering the above innovation entities and support institutions, the regional innovation system shall be formed in a localized manner during the globalization process.[6]
