The Impact of the Evolution of Relationship between Technical Standards and Patents on Technical Innovation

摘要

Technical standard competition and patent right contests are two major strategies of enterprise competition; technical standards and patents are traditionally isolated and have conflicts. With the development of the knowledge economy and science and technology, technical standards and patents mutually infiltrate and gradually integrate. This study explores the relationship of evolution from separation to fusion between technical standards and patents, on the basis, first, analyzes the separate impacts on technical innovation of technical standards and patents and then discusses the impacts on technical innovation when technical standards and patents merge together.
