Research on Patent Counting Methods in Patent-Intensive Industry Statistics
[Purposes]This paper observes the impact of different counting methods on the total number of patents and patent-intensive industries from different perspectives,analyzes and compares the advan-tages and disadvantages of integer and fractional counting methods,so as to promote the further develop-ment of patent-intensive industries.[Methods]Starting from the patent-intensive industry itself,this pa-per adopts the method of analysis and comparison,and gradually analyzes the characteristics of patents in patent-intensive industries,the importance of patented technology and methods,and the influence of different counting methods on statistical data.[Findings]The integer counting method is not only condu-cive to observing the increase in the number of new patents,but also convenient for observing the scale of patents in various industries,which has a simpler and more intuitive data effect.[Conclusions]The pat-ent counting method of patent-intensive industries can consider to use the integer type.
