Abstract

The global development of regional industry becomes more transparent because of the economic globalization. The development and reform of industrial technology caused by big data analysis makes industries more predictable. Based on the core issue of "patent thicket", this paper constructs an analysis framework of the competitive situation of industrial patents and carries out empirical research, taking Xiamen city as an example, basing on Jiangsu province, Guangdong province and Shenzhen city and with the aid of WIPO "industry - technology" matching table. It shows that compared with the advanced provinces and cities, Xiamen’s competitiveness of industrial patent is relatively weak. Most of them are in the state of technological precursor monopoly and exploration of weak competitive technology. Based on the results of case analysis, the paper puts forward setting up the periodic monitoring mechanism of the competitive situation of industrial patents, rationally arranging incentive policies and paying attention to industry development, so as to ensure measures such as the monitoring quality of competitive situation of industrial patents to promote industrial innovation and development.

Highlights

Patent, as a means of stimulating and protecting innovation, is becoming more and more important for the development of industry in the context of current knowledge and economy [1,2]
The data of industrial patent distribution is matched by the corresponding relationship between industry and international patent classification number by the Ipc8-Technology Concordance established by the world intellectual property organization (WIPO)
When the WIPO is the standard to divide industries and the average level of Jiangsu province is a benchmark, microstructure and nano technology, biological engineering, semiconductor technology, optical technology, electrical / mechanical / instrument / power technology, computer technology, furniture / game, transportation, civil engineering, mechanical components and chemical engineering are in technological precursor monopoly development state, while other fields are in weak competitive technology exploration state

Summary

Introduction

As a means of stimulating and protecting innovation, is becoming more and more important for the development of industry in the context of current knowledge and economy [1,2]. Patent level represents the level of technology innovation and plays an important role in the development of industrial economy [3]. As the representative of the new classical economists, listed technological progress separately and regarded it as the most important factor for the contribution to economic growth in his neoclassical growth theory. He put forward the point that "technological progress's important contribution to the economic growth" for the first time and regarded technical progress, labor and capital as the three main factors for economic growth [4]. The characteristic that the patent system itself protects technology innovation has made the dissimilation, patent’s effect of the economic development is not effective, for example "Problem-patent" caused by motivation [7,8] and "Pseudo-innovation" caused by government incentives [9]
