基于标准必要专利组合的标准竞争态势探析——以C-V2X技术为例

Analysis of Standards Competition Situation Based on Standard Essential Patent Portfolio——A Case Study of C-V2X Technology

近年来标准与专利融合发展的趋势愈加明显,标准必要专利成为反映企业技术标准战略的一个关键变量。为了全面、系统地分析企业的标准竞争态势,本文将专利组合分析思想引入标准必要专利领域,构建了一个包含战略、导向、布局和结果4个维度的标准必要专利组合分析框架,以C-V2X技术为例对主导企业的技术标准竞争态势进行了实证分析。研究发现:当前C-V2X领域的技术标准竞争异常激烈,主要的信息通信企业都在该领域进行了标准必要专利布局,但不同企业的标准竞争模式存在较大差异。本研究一方面拓展了专利组合分析的思路和研究领域,另一方面对技术标准竞争战略的讨论更为系统和全面,可以更为有效地指导新发展阶段中的企业标准竞争实践。

In recent years, standards and patents has become more and more closely integrated. Standard essential patents have become a key variable reflecting the technology standard strategy of enterprises. In order to analyze enterprises’ standards competition situation comprehensively and systematically, this paper introduces the patent portfolio analysis method to the field of standard essential patent research. A standard patent portfolio analysis framework with four dimensions is established, that is strategy, orientation, layout and results. After that, the paper conducts an empirical research into leading enterprise technology standards competition using the C-V2X technology as an example.It is found that the current competition of technical standards in the C-V2X field is extremely fierce, and the main information and communication enterprises have carried out the layout of standard necessary patents in this field, but the standards competition mode of different enterprises is quite different. On the one hand, this research expands the research field of patent portfolio analysis;on the other hand, it makes the research on technical standards competition strategy more systematic and comprehensive, which can more effectively guide the practice of enterprise standards competition in the new development stage.
