摘要
本文基于2016年中国企业专利调查数据,考察专利诉讼经历对于企业技术创新战略的影响。从诉讼发起人角度区分起诉、被诉;从诉讼结果角度区分作为原告且胜诉和被告且败诉;从诉讼赔偿方式角度区分法定赔偿、非法定赔偿,并结合赔偿金额大小,考察了诉讼经历对涉诉企业研发投入决策、专利维持决策、知识产权机构设置及专利管理经费投入决策的影响。研究发现,专利诉讼经历能够有效激励涉诉企业进行研发投入、持有更多有效专利,并促使企业建立专门的知识产权管理机构,投入更多资金进行专利管理运营。相较而言,专利诉讼经历对企业专利持有结构(发明专利占比)的改善效果不明显。本文还从克服双向因果关系、诉讼经历效果的异质性等维度进行拓展分析,发现上述结论具有较强的稳健性。
Based on the 2016 patent survey data of Chinese firms,this paper examines the impact of patent litigation experience on firms’technological innovation strategies.We make clear distinctions:from the point of view of the complainant initiating the procedure,between plaintiff and defendant;from the perspective of litigation outcomes,between being a plaintiff and winning and being a defendant and losing;from the point of view of legal compensation,between statutory and non-statutory compensations combined with their compensation amounts.We then examine the influence on decision-making regarding R&D investments by firms involved in litigation,patent maintenance,establishment of intellectual property agencies,and financing of patent-related management expenditures.It has been proven that experience in patent litigation can effectively stimulate R&D investments from the firms involved,promote the maintenance of more effective patents,and urge firms to establish specialised intellectual property management agencies and allocate more funds to patent management expenditures.In contrast,the effects of patent litigation experience on the patent-holding structure(the ratio of invention patents)are not evident.We extend the analysis by handling the two-way causality issue and conducting heterogeneity analysis,noting that the previous conclusions are robust.
