Innovation in China

Impact of Chinese IPR In the ICT Sector – Assignations, Licensing and Protection

“…It may take many more years than it would take to secure a utility patent, but once it is obtained, the patent holder is protected for twenty years. A patent on an innovation is the best bet if the product requires a significant amount of time to produce or if it will continue to be valuable for a significant amount of time in the future (Fan, P 2015). The patent office in China is highly advanced today.…”

“…On the other hand, registration of the patent assignment needs to occur as soon as it is humanly possible, given that it will only take effect on the registration date or the day CNIPA validates the registration. In case of a lawsuit or an infringement, the choice to not register might cost more in the long run (Fan, P 2015).…”

Is air pollution detrimental to regional innovation? Evidence from Chinese cities

“…In the literature, the generation and capacity of a region’s innovation are affected by a set of factors, such as Research and Development (R&D) investment (Bruche, 2009; Crescenzi & Rodríguez‐Pose, 2017; Crescenzi et al., 2012; Fan, 2014; Sun & Du, 2010), human capital (Yang & Lin, 2012; Zhang et al., 2012), density and agglomerations 3 (Crescenzi et al., 2012; Dahlman, 2010; Shang et al., 2012; Song & Zhang, 2017), foreign direct investment (FDI) (Cheung & Ping, 2004; Fan, 2014; Fan et al., 2012), networks and institutions (Chen & Kenney, 2007; Kafouros et al., 2015; Rong et al., 2017; Yueh, 2009), and the social filter (structural characteristics that would make a region more “innovation prone” 4 ) (Crescenzi et al., 2012; Crescenzi & Rodríguez‐Pose, 2017; Zhang et al., 2020). Though the innovativeness of a city is attributed to a combination of several inputs, the consensus is that the endowments of high‐skilled and creative workers form the basis of sustainable innovation development; therefore, how to attract those workers may also matter for the result of innovation.…”
