Abstract

Alongside Patent Super Aggregators represented by Intellectual Ventures in the United States, there is a trend to construct patent intermediary in the context of platform ecosystem. Accordingly, patent operation platforms (POPs) have emerged recently in China, yet few studies focus on uncovering their structures and operating mechanisms. This article aims to explore them based on two in-depth case studies with the application of a four-dimensional service innovation framework. Findings pinpoint that POP consists of ‘Patent Plus’ database, patent service platform and two-sided patent platform, as a closed loop. In this structure, ICT plays a prominent role, connected with new service concepts, service delivery system and client interface, to operate the platform. Our article also shows implications to POP related theory and practice.

专利中介作为平台生态系统的构建与运营——以中国专利运营平台为例

除了以美国Intellectual Ventures为代表的专利超级聚合器外，在平台生态系统背景下构建专利中介也有趋势。因此，中国近年来出现了专利运营平台，但对其结构和运行机制的研究较少。本文旨在运用四维服务创新框架，通过两个深入的案例研究来探讨这些问题。结果表明，POP由“专利+”数据库、专利服务平台和双边专利平台组成一个闭环。在这一结构中，信息通信技术发挥着突出的作用，与新的服务理念、服务交付系统和客户端接口相连接，来运行平台。本文还提出了对POP相关理论和实践的启示。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
