What are the Characteristics of High-Value Patents?——A Study of Group Effect Based on Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Fuzzy Sets
[Purpose/significance]Through the research on the characteristics of high-value patents,it helps to accurately identify high-value patents and provides reference for the national implementation of the patent quality improvement project.[Method/pro-cess]Taking the Chinese Patent Gold Medal Patent as a case study,we use the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to ex-plore the characteristics of high-value patent indicators from the group perspective.[Result/conclusion]The study finds that:the re-maining validity period,the number of claims,and the size of patent family are the key indicators for identifying high-value patents,the multiple combinations of the three-dimensional indicators of law,technology,and market form the diversified indicator grouping of high-value patents,and the high-value patents are classified into the ideal-type high-value patents,technology-led high-value pat-ents,technology-led high-value patents,and high-value patents.The study classifies high-value patents into four types:ideal high-value patents,technology-led high-value patents,market-led high-value patents and technology-economic high-value patents.The findings of the study can provide guidance for enterprises to identify high-value patents.[Innovation/limitation]The use of qualitative comparative analysis for high-value patent evaluation study can consider the patent characteristics more comprehensively,which pro-vides a new research vision for high-value patent evaluation study.However,this paper only selects China Patent Gold Award as the research object,and in the future,we can consider selecting other high-value patent objects for more adequate research.
