Abstract

Firms are used to registering trademarks for intellectual property protection which ultimately increases their innovations. Using a novel data set tracking firm-level trademark registrations of Chinese listed firms between 2005 and 2017, this article sheds light on the role of a firm's first trademark in its patents and the related provision's implication in the developing world. We implement a difference-in-difference model to find approximately a 30% increase in the number of a firm's patents after its first trademark application. Moreover, we take advantage of the latest amendment of China's Trademark Law in 2013 as an exogenous shock to investigate the influence of law protection on trademark-induced innovations. The results suggest a strengthened effect of first trademark applications on patent numbers after the 2013 amendment.

注册商标对企业创新的作用:来自中国企业的证据
企业习惯于注册商标进行知识产权保护,这最终会提高企业的创新能力。本文利用一组追踪 2005 年至 2017 年中国上市企业商标注册情况的新数据,揭示了企业的首个商标在其专利中的作用,以及相关规定在发展中国家的影响。我们采用差分模型发现,企业在首次申请商标后,其专利数量会增加约 30%。此外,我们利用 2013 年中国最新修订的《商标法》作为外生冲击,研究法律保护对商标创新的影响。结果表明,2013 年修订后,首次商标申请对专利数量的影响有所加强。
