Determinants of Quadic Patenting:Market Access,Imitative Threat,Competition and Strength of Intellectual Property Rights

摘要：

　　This paper analyzes firms” decisions to seek intellectual property rights in global markets,particularly in China.We introduce the notion of a ‘quadic patent,” defined as a patent family that consists of patent applications filed at the European Patent Office,the Japanese Patent Office,the United States Patent and Trademark Office,and the national patent office of a fourth country.We examine the determinants of quadic patenting at the industry level for China,and at the country level for a sample of 38 countries.Our results indicate that quadic patenting is driven by the need to access markets,respond to imitative threats,and compete in product markets.
