Impact of Patent System Internationalization on International Patent Competitiveness and Evaluation: A Comprehensive Study

Abstract

This research investigates the effects of patent system internationalization on international patent competitiveness and proposes a framework for its evaluation. As globalization continues to reshape innovation ecosystems, the internationalization of patent systems has become increasingly prevalent, influencing the dynamics of knowledge creation, technology diffusion, and intellectual property protection on a global scale. Through a multi-dimensional analysis encompassing legal, economic, and technological perspectives, this study examines the mechanisms through which the internationalization of patent systems affects the competitiveness of countries and firms in the global patent landscape. Drawing upon empirical data and case studies, the research assesses the impact of factors such as harmonization of patent laws, participation in international patent treaties, and alignment with global patent standards on patent filing trends, patent quality, and patent enforcement strategies. Furthermore, the study develops a comprehensive evaluation framework to measure and benchmark the international patent competitiveness of countries and firms, considering indicators such as patent quantity, patent citation impact, patent portfolio diversity, and patent litigation outcomes. By providing insights into the implications of patent system internationalization for innovation policy, intellectual property strategy, and global competitiveness, this research contributes to a better understanding of the evolving landscape of international patent protection and its implications for innovation-driven economies.
