Abstract
Taking the perspective of cybernetics theory, enterprise patent management can be described as a controllable information system which includes various activities and performances. This paper aims to analysis the relationship between enterprise patent activities and patent performance, and to help convert technological innovation achievements into patent rights more effectively and consolidate technology superiority. This paper uses System Dynamics method to construct a multiscale nonlinear enterprise patent management model. Validity of this model is tested, simulation is conducted in VENSIM, sensitivity analysis of this model shows that: Technology Disclosure Sufficiency does not have much influence on patent application quantity, but it has strongly positive effect on patent grant rate and patent portfolio diversity, it can also lower the risk of patent circumvention. Simulation shows that technology disclosure sufficiency is a key determinant to reduce information loss and improve output efficiency of enterprise patent management system. Collaboration of R&D personnel, patent engineers and patent agencies should be enhanced to improve TDS, so as to promote enterprise patent management efficiency. This SD model provides a foundation for future research in patent management optimization.

Summary
In the era of knowledge economy and globalization, patent legal system has become an international rule with universal binding force. Patent system provides patentee a force to legally monopolize the technology within the term of patent right. As a special strategic resource, patent right ownership has become the key to business success especially for high-tech enterprises. To ensure that R&D achievements are effectively under protection has been the core mission of enterprise patent management, as well as a practical challenge for enterprise leader and patent manager. Since the goal of enterprise patent management is to transform the R&D achievements into patent rights timely and efficiently, in this angel of view, enterprise patent management can be described as a progress of converting technology innovation achievements into patent rights ownership. Enterprise patent management can be a case of system engineering, and it is suitable to conduct research on enterprise patent management from a perspective of system science. This paper aims to stablish a system simulation model which could reproduce the actual behavior of enterprise patent management and fill the gap in system engineering research
