Description
Résumé:Taking the perspective of cybernetics theory, enterprise patent management can be described as a controllable information system which includes various activities and performances. This paper aims to analysis the relationship between enterprise patent activities and patent performance, and to help convert technological innovation achievements into patent rights more effectively and consolidate technology superiority. This paper uses System Dynamics method to construct a multiscale nonlinear enterprise patent management model. Validity of this model is tested, simulation is conducted in VENSIM, sensitivity analysis of this model shows that: Technology Disclosure Sufficiency does not have much influence on patent application quantity, but it has strongly positive effect on patent grant rate and patent portfolio diversity, it can also lower the risk of patent circumvention. Simulation shows that technology disclosure sufficiency is a key determinant to reduce information loss and improve output efficiency of enterprise patent management system. Collaboration of R&D personnel, patent engineers and patent agencies should be enhanced to improve TDS, so as to promote enterprise patent management efficiency. This SD model provides a foundation for future research in patent management optimization.
