Abstract

Competition between firms to invent and patent an idea, or “patent racing,” has been much discussed in theory, but seldom analyzed empirically and never at scale. This article introduces an empirical way to identify patent races, and provides the first broad-based view of them in the real world. It reveals that patent races are common, particularly in information-technology fields. The article then analyzes the effect of winning a patent race, showing that patent race winners do significantly more follow-on innovation, and their follow-on research is more similar to what was covered by the patent.(JEL CODES: O34, O32, O31)

赢得专利竞赛会带来更多的后续创新吗?

摘要企业之间的发明和专利竞争，或“专利竞赛”，已经在理论上讨论了很多，但很少进行实证分析，也从来没有进行过规模分析。本文介绍了一种识别专利竞争的经验方法，并提供了现实世界中第一个广泛的专利竞争观点。它揭示了专利竞争是普遍的，特别是在信息技术领域。在此基础上，本文分析了专利竞赛获胜的影响，结果表明，专利竞赛获胜者的后续创新显著增加，其后续研究与专利所涵盖的内容更加相似。(凝胶代码:o34、o32、o31)
