Abstract:This paper discussed the relationship between patent structure change and Chinese enterprises operating performance, and introduced Moore index as an indicator to measure the change for the structure of patent. And then the paper establishes an VAR model to analyze the co-interaction of patent structure change and the enterprises performance with the data from 1997 to 2013. The results show that there is a mutual adaptation relationship between the patent structure change and business performance change. In the short term, this relationship would display an impact from the patent structure change to the business performance change; in the long term, it shows a reverse influence from the business performance change to the patent structure change. At the same time, the effect degree of business performance change on patent structure change is less than the opposite. This proves that by encouraging enterprises to adjust their own patent structure is conducive to the improvement of its performance.
