Analysis of Patent Competition and Cooperation between China and Poland

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Intellectual property cooperation has become an important part of the construction of "One Belt, One Road". Understanding the patent layout and competition and cooperation status between China and countries along the One Belt and One Road routes can provide some reference for technological cooperation between governments and enterprises and for scientific research and innovation institutions to determine R&D directions. [Method/Process] Based on the comparative analysis, using the data of mutual registration of invention patents, joint invention and joint patent applications between China and Poland, this paper depicts patent competition, including the patent timing, technology patterns, patentee layout and the present situation of patent cooperation between China and Poland.[Results/Conclusions] The patent layout of China and Poland is quite different, and the technological advantages of the two countries are different; there is a small-scale patent cooperation between China and Poland, and the competition situation is relatively moderate; the possibility for further patent cooperation between China and Poland exists.
