{"title":"How do patent subsidies drive SMEs to patent? Evidence from China","authors":"Runhua Wang","doi":"10.1080/19439342.2023.2276937","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19439342.2023.2276937","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIt is agreed that the patent explosion in China results from diverse forms of government funding and subsidies, especially patent subsidies. This study explores how patent subsidies have promoted the patenting propensities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China. Patent subsidy policies provided limited financial support but sent signals to create prospects of obtaining policy surpluses by filing patent applications. This study provides empirical evidence of the signalling effect by showing that innovation-inactive SMEs and SMEs in patent-free industries filed inframarginal patent applications. Ex-ante subsidy policies offered stronger signals than ex-post subsidy policies. However, after a pro-patent culture was cultivated, SMEs were impervious to a decrease in patent subsidies and did not effectively perceive messages of strengthening patent quality from further policy changes. The signalling effect suggests effective policies for promoting patent applications in a weak patent regime that does not reward patents through the market. By contrast, it also accompanied distortion effects, indicating the policy’s failure to reduce the transaction costs associated with SME adapting to the patent regime.KEYWORDS: Patenting propensitypatent subsidysignalling effectinframarginal patent applications Declaration of interestThis research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.Disclosure statementThe authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.Notes1. e.g., The Tenth Five-Year Plan of the People’s Republic of China on National Economy and Social Development (promulgated by the 2001 Nat’l People’s Cong) (China).2. Beijing and Shanghai are municipalities, named as city level, but administrated as provincial level.3. Shanghai has a similar system for government grants and adopted this system for patent subsidies in 2017. Before 2017, the Shanghai government adopted a similar applicant-based hierarchy for conferring ‘pro-patent’ grants.4. The State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) was renamed China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) in 2018.5. While this 2012 funding policy was reformed further in 2017, the two versions of the policies are consistent (Shanghai Intellectual Property Office, & Shanghai Municipal Finance Bureau Citation2017).6. According to the Patent Prosecution Pricing Guidelines (The Committee of China Patent Agency Citation2016), drafting a utility patent usually charges at least ￥4,000 yuan depending on the patent application’s size. Requesting substantive examination charges￥1,000 yuan, and responding to office actions usually charges￥2,500 yuan. Patent attorneys can adjust their price, but the service quality, such as searching for prior arts, is also relevant to the price (Beijing Guanhequan Law Firm Citation2016).7.

This paper presents the results from a randomised controlled trial of weekend and holiday booster classes for 7th and 8th grade girls in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, that aimed to improve girls’ education outcomes and increase transition rates from primary to secondary school. While qualitative results suggested numerous advantages of the booster classes, including more freedom to ask questions, smaller class sizes, and kinder teachers, the program did not yield statistically significant effects on learning outcomes, school attendance or noncognitive skills. Mixed-methods research suggests that the limited impacts may stem from implementation challenges including irregular booster class attendance and a lack of appropriate teaching materials. More broadly, the results show the importance of accounting for implementation challenges in the reporting of impact evaluation results.","PeriodicalId":46384,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Development Effectiveness","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86493396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
