Research on the Characteristics of Invention Patent Transfer in Double First-class Engineering Universities

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to discover the rule of technology transfer in engineering colleges and universities, in the hope of providing support for patent management and operation and improving the transformation rate of technological achievements in Chinese universities. This study takes the invention patents of double first-class engineering universities as the research object, and obtains application data of 51 double-class engineering universities from 1999 to 2018 via Innojoy Patent Search Database. It studies the status of transferred invention patents, the characteristics of patent time, the cooperation patterns and the technology flow path. Compared with the transfer rate of 3.2%, the growth rate of application is 31.3% from 1999 to 2018. It is necessary to pay more attention on patent transfer to achieve economic value of intangible assets. Nearly 90% of the patents are transferred for the first time within 7 years after application, and the overall maintenance period is skewed normal distribution and has a right long tail. Among the transferred patents, cooperative patent applications account for only 12.14%, and university-enterprise cooperation is the core cooperative application mode. The technology of these 51 universities contributes to the national economic development with enterprises as major patent assignees.

Key words: Double first-class engineering universities, Invention patent transfer, Time lag, Cooperation characteristics, Technology flow
