动态竞争视角下的专利诉讼风险影响因素研究：基于专利战略差异化的分析

Research on the Influencing Factors of Patent Litigation Risk from the Perspective of Dynamic Competition: Analysis based on Patent Strategy Differentiation

摘要:

近年来,专利诉讼作为企业间的战略竞争手段受到了学者们的广泛关注。本文从动态竞争的视角出发,探讨了焦点企业不同的专利战略所引发的专利诉讼风险差异,并考察焦点企业面临的市场竞争强度、地方司法保护及其政治联系对上述关系的调节作用。结果表明,相比于防御和杠杆专利战略,实施专有专利战略的企业会面临更高的专利诉讼风险。市场竞争强度加强了焦点企业专有专利战略与其面临的专利诉讼风险之间的关系；而焦点企业所处的地区地方司法保护及其政治联系则会削弱上述关系。本研究丰富了专利诉讼风险影响因素的理论研究,并为企业专利诉讼风险管理提供有关战略层面的预警分析。

Abstract:

In recent years, patent litigation has received extensive attention from scholars as a strategic competition tool among enterprises. From the perspective of dynamic competition, this paper discusses the differences in patent litigation risks caused by different patent strategies of focus enterprises, and examines the moderating effects of market competition intensity, local judicial protection and political connections that focus enterprises face on the above relationship. The results show that firms implementing proprietary patent strategies face higher risk of patent litigation than defensive and leveraged patent strategies. The intensity of market competition strengthens the relationship between the proprietary patent strategy of the focal company and the risk of patent litigation it faces; while the local judicial protection and political connections in the region where the focal company is located will weaken the relationship. This study enriches the theoretical research on the influencing factors of patent litigation risk, and provides early warning analysis on the strategic level for enterprise patent litigation risk management.
