Is the Dragon Learning to Fly? An Analysis of the Chinese Patent ExplosionMarkus EberhardtUniversity of Nottingham - Leverhulme Centre for Research on Globalisation and Economic Policy (GEP) Christian HelmersSanta Clara University - Leavey School of Business; Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Zhihong YuUniversity of Nottingham - Leverhulme Centre for Research on Globalisation and Economic Policy (GEP) November 29, 2011 The University of Nottingham Research Paper No. 2011/16 Abstract: This paper analyses characteristics of the recent explosion of patent filings by Chinese firms both domestically and in the United States. We construct a firm-level dataset by matching USPTO and SIPO patents to Chinese manufacturing census data for 1999-2006. Using this integrated dataset we show that the patent explosion is accounted for by a tiny, highly select group of Chinese companies in the ICT equipment industry. Our analysis further suggests that firms patenting in both the US and China are younger, larger and more export-oriented than firms patenting exclusively in China.
