专利资助政策与问题专利的形成——基于灰色关联的实证研究

Patent Subsidy Policy and the Formation of Questionable Patents:An Empirical Study Based on Grey Relation

为促进自主创新,推动科技进步,我国很多地方政府都制定有专利资助政策,对专利申请、授权、维护过程中产生的费用进行补贴或奖励。但专利资助政策也可能导致问题专利。以我国24个省区数据为样本,采用灰色关联法对专利资助政策与问题专利的关联性进行了定量分析。结果表明,专利资助政策的实施时间、修订次数、最高资助金额等专利资助政策度量指标与问题专利显著相关,专利资助政策一定程度上促进了问题专利的形成。

To promote independent innovation and scientific and technological progress, many local governments in our country have de- veloped patent policies to subsidy costs incurred during patent applying, granting and maintenance, or rewarding. But these policies may lead the formation of questionable patents. This paper collected the data of 24 provinces in China and applied grey correlation analysis to make quantitative analysis on the relationship between patent subsidy policies and questionable patents. The results show that the patent subsidy policy metrics such as implementation time, the number of amendments, the maximum grant amounts are significantly associated with questionable patents. That is to say patent subsidy policies promote the formation of patent issues to some extent.
