Abstract: Abstract Objective This study constructs a technology co-opetition network based on patent data, which then reveals the competitive and collaborative relationships in the technological field. By analyzing the innovation characteristics and advantages of enterprises, industries, and regions, it provides important theoretical and practical guidance for technological innovation and industrial development. Methods The main research methodology of this study proceeds in three steps: “identification of technological competitors, construction of co-opetition network, and industrial analysis.” This involves methods such as patent metrics, social network analysis, complex network analysis, as well as text analysis algorithms including natural language processing and similarity calculation. Results By constructing competitive-cooperative networks for the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors, as well as for the segmented industries of the rare-earth permanent magnet industry, and by calculating data such as the competitive-cooperative coefficient, it is possible to conduct a targeted analysis of the current state of the industry. Incorporating multi-dimensional analysis that includes cities and industries not only reveals the competitive-cooperative status but also allows for targeted policy recommendations to local governments. Limitations This study has some limitations and shortcomings, such as the lack of uniformity in the indicators for relationships in the co-opetition network. That is, the current network analysis treats the co-opetition network as an unweighted network, but in reality, the network exists with different weight of competitive relation, cooperative relation, and potential cooperative relation. Conclusions This study provides a new method for industry analysis by delving into the content of patent texts and constructing a co-opetition network for industrial analysis. The method is highly operational and interpretable, allowing for its application in various fields of analysis.
