The Patent: An Empirical Study Of Effect On Economic Growth

Technological progress has become the mostly driving forces in promotingeconomic growth. The progress of technology, the patent provides a goodinstitutional environment. Mechanism of the patent through the four roles-technical innovation, technology dissemination, technology transfer and technologymovement, to promote long-term economic growth in the role. In recent years, thecause of intellectual property, particularly patents cause, Anhui Province hasachieved rapid development, be found in the rapid increase in patent applicationsand granted. As patent strategy nationwide demonstration Province, as theWanjiang cities with demonstration area industries to relocate, how to learn fromthe successful experience of the patent strategy developed and advanced regions ineighteen major innovation-driven restructuring and development under theguidance of the concept, and perfect operation of the patent in the province, andpromote economic growth is the need to focus on the task.Run on the role of economic growth by statistical analysis of patent data, theaccurate evaluation of the patent system in Anhui Province, comprehensive grasp ofthe role of patents in the technological, economic activities, to identify factors thataffect patent output capacity for scientific decision-making, the right guide andeffective implementation of patent strategy planning is important. The article basedon the patent system in promoting economic growth, to test the volume of output ofthe patent and the relationship between the GDP, and play a guiding role to thestrategic adjustment of the relevant government departments and enterprises patent,provide a reference for the economic development of Anhui Province strategicplanning.This research in philosophy of science and technology, quantity economics,mathematical statistics theory and method as the instruction, combines normativeanalysis and empirical analysis at an organic whole, closely around “patent promoteeconomic growth” the main line. Accumulated in a lot of reading at home andabroad literature and data, and data, on the basis of absorbing the forefront ofresearch achievements in this field both at home and abroad, on the mechanism of action of the patent to promote the economic growth theory and empirical research,puts forward a lot of targeted and feasible countermeasures and Suggestions. Firsthas been clear about the related concepts of patent, the definition of economicgrowth and its theory, the relationship of the patent and technology progress, themechanism of action of the patent on economic growth. Under the analyticalparadigm of the modern theory of the growth, with recent data in Anhui province asan example for the empirical analysis, mainly studies the patent of the relationshipbetween output and GDP in Anhui province, and subdivide the three different typesof patent different effects on economic growth. Results show that the total patentauthorization and GDP has a strong positive correlation. Which the grant of a patentfor invention and GDP through the granger causality test, the patent for inventionindeed has a significant role in promoting economic growth.Finally, based on the above research and analysis, contact problems of patentwork in Anhui province, put forward the countermeasures of accelerating thedevelopment of patents to promote Anhui economic growth: in terms of patentcreation, suggest increase the R&D input patent, support research work andscientific research institutes of higher education, promote enterprise’s patentcreation; In terms of patent protection, it is recommended that the intellectualproperty system of laws and regulations, strengthen the protection of commercialsecrets, public and corporate patent awareness; In the patent application, it isrecommended that encourage patent industrialization, strengthen enterprise patentmanagement ability, establish and improve the patent intermediary serviceinstitutions, perfecting the patent information retrieval and analysis platformconstruction; Suggestions to strengthen the professional management of the patenttalents cultivation, optimizes the allocation of education resources at all levels,strengthen the teaching and research institutions of construction, strengthen thecooperation between patent teaching in colleges and universities, establish perfectpatent system of on-the-job training.
