Abstract: This study conducts a thorough analysis of the relationship between regional knowledge protection and the advancement of data elements. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation, indicating that enhanced regional knowledge protection significantly boosts the level of data elements, and the pivotal intermediary role played by the innovation level in this relationship. Furthermore, the impact of regional knowledge protection on data element advancement exhibits regional variations, with the eastern region of China showing the most prominent effects. This study provides valuable insights into the importance of regional knowledge protection and the intermediary role of innovation in driving data element advancement.
