Evaluation Of Patent Control Capability Of International Enterprises Based On Analytic Hierarchy Process

In this age in which almost all is powered by technology,intellectual property remains a central cornerstone,but not a means in and of itself,to achieve overall success.And a strong system of patent formation,implementation and protection is an absolute necessity for growing investment,protecting markets and enabling the outflow of innovation in the industries.A patent is essentially an inventor's legal right to prohibit anyone from producing a specific invention or using it.Companies need to develop a formidable patent enforcement capacity that will enforce their core inventions through patent development,application,security,management and other activities in order to prevent other companies from utilizing a particular invention,in order to control the supply and demand of specific goods,eventually affecting and controlling specific competitors in specific regions dispute.To fully investigate,study and analyze the concept of company patent capability control we will peruse the rich academic knowledge from already existing literatures that relate to the topic for great in-depth analysis based on company control capability,company patent capability and company core competence.In order to construct the evaluation index system this research also uses the Analytical Hierarchy Method(AHP)to calculate the indexes in the design of the assessment index system for the company patent capability control.And to be able to rate the value of the indexes,this research uses the Expert Ranking System which means Scholars and related professionals who have in-depth knowledge of intellectual property or rich experience in the practice of patent agencies are the experts chosen and interrogated for the purpose of this research.In conclusion this research has established that,every company's desire is to make profit and profit is produced by entrepreneurship and innovation.This is to suggest that creativity has become the pivot for the survival of companies.The level of competition in the 21 st century calls on managers to give their firms a competitive edge through the distribution of resources and expertise if they still want to be in business.Technology has become the order of the day and companies that want to gain competitive advantage and be in business for a longer time must study the trends,march up their resources and increase their innovative capability to stay relevant in the market place.The study concentrated largely on constructing evaluation index system and exploring the role of company patent control capability on the strategic planning and innovative performance of the organization based on their patent creation,application,protection and management in strengthening its technology capability,product versatility and its market or commercial value.This will help managers to make well informed decisions to keep their companies in business since it will take a company that has developed a strong patent control capability stand the fierce competition in the market place.Based on the results of this report,it is recommended that businesses commit to advancing the new level of innovative capacity in order to capture the market and increase performance.
