How certain indigenous innovation and other patent policies hamper innovation in China

Dan Prud'homme

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: China has a wide-range of patent-specific and other patent-related policies in-place, many of which are at least partially meant to stimulate patents and “indigenous innovation.” However, the analysis in this paper discusses how some of these policies in effect can actually discourage quality patents, and highest-quality patents in particular, and related innovation.
