Abstract:Based on the method of social network analysis, this paper constructs a network structure for the interregional patent transfer in China to understand the situation of it among each province in 2016. Through calculating the degree of each node''s centrality, clustering , building a "core-periphery" network architecture model and other methods, the network structure and block characteristics of patent transfer among 31 provinces in China are analyzed. Then this paper gives a conclusion that taking Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu Provinces as typical examples, China has established a relatively wide but not so mature interregional patent transfer network among provinces, and the situation of them have generally maintained a relatively stable state, except that Shaanxi Province and Guangdong Province have big patent output and absorption difference. With the exception of Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, all other provinces belong to the marginal nodes in the network structure, and their participation in the overall network structure is relatively low. Finally, on the basis of drawing all the research conclusions, the paper puts forward the policy and enlightenment of improving the effect of interregional patent transfer in China.
