Abstract: This paper examines the impact of patent policy combination intensity and balance on patent quality, using a sample of 651 patent policy texts and enterprise patents from each province in China between 1992 and 2012. Textual analysis methods are applied to measure the strength of four types of patent policies and assess patent quality. By conducting panel regression and robustness tests, the study reveals significant variations in the effects of different types of patent policies on various aspects of patents. Moreover, it highlights that solely considering the combination intensity of policies while disregarding their balance would result in a decline in patent quality. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for policymakers aiming to develop policies that effectively enhance patent quality in their respective regions.
