A Study of Strategic Emerging Industries

Abstract

Sarmento Manuela

There has been an increase in international interest in Chinese patents as a result of China's aggressive globalization policies and rapid technological development. This study constructs a novel dataset of Chinese SEI patents abroad to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution and determinants of these patents' geography. As examples, it uses strategic emerging industries (SEIs) that are crucial to the world's future development. According to our findings, there is a rapid increase in the number of Chinese SEI patents issued abroad and the information technology sector of the new generation is increasingly dominant, accounting for approximately half of all SEI patents granted abroad. Western Europe and East Asia are where Chinese SEI patents are most concentrated and their influence is gradually spreading from African nations to developed nations. The host nation's high-tech product market size and competition risk have a negative impact on Chinese patents abroad, while the host nation's IPR protection level, technology market size and imitation risk have a significant impact on Chinese SEI patents abroad.
