Abstract:

【Purpose/significance】Through the research on the characteristics of high-value patents, it helps to accurately identify

high-value patents and provides reference for the national implementation of the patent quality improvement project.【Method/pro⁃

cess】 Taking the Chinese Patent Gold Medal Patent as a case study, we use the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to ex⁃

plore the characteristics of high-value patent indicators from the group perspective.【Result/conclusion】The study finds that: the re⁃

maining validity period, the number of claims, and the size of patent family are the key indicators for identifying high-value patents,

the multiple combinations of the three-dimensional indicators of law, technology, and market form the diversified indicator grouping of

high-value patents, and the high-value patents are classified into the ideal-type high-value patents, technology-led high-value pat⁃

ents, technology-led high-value patents, and high-value patents. The study classifies high-value patents into four types: ideal high

value patents, technology-led high-value patents, market-led high-value patents and technology-economic high-value patents. The

findings of the study can provide guidance for enterprises to identify high-value patents.【Innovation/limitation】The use of qualitative

comparative analysis for high-value patent evaluation study can consider the patent characteristics more comprehensively, which pro⁃

vides a new research vision for high-value patent evaluation study. However, this paper only selects China Patent Gold Award as the

research object, and in the future, we can consider selecting other high-value patent objects for more adequate research.
