- Analyzing the evidence of an IPR take-off in China and IndiaPublication . Godinho, Manuel Mira; Ferreira, VítorBoth China and India have been experiencing a historical take-off in the use of intellectual property rights (IPR). In terms of trademark applications filed with domestic IP offices in 2009, the evidence demonstrates that China now ranks 1st worldwide and India 5th, while for patent filings China ranks 3rd worldwide and India ranks 9th. This performance is remarkable as both China and India experienced negligible demand for IPR protection as recently as two decades ago. The IPR take up trends in these two countries are analyzed in detail, highlighting the structure of patent and trademark demand since 1990. Specifically, the available series are broken down and analyzed according to: (i) national versus foreign origin of patents and trademarks; (ii) technological (IPC) and trademark (NICE) classes; and (iii) the major individual patent users in each country. The data used refers to applications in the Chinese and Indian IP offices although the demand from residents of these two countries in both the international and other national systems is also assessed. Beyond the existing momentum in IPR registrations by China and India and their capacity to maintain it into the near future, the paper addresses practical questions about the strategies, motives and benefits behind the current trends. In particular, we seek to evaluate the capacity of both China’s and India’s National Innovation Systems to internalize the potential returns of this increasing demand for IPR. The insight reached finds that should both China and India sustain their current IPR growth rates, they will be able to catch up with the most advanced economies within the time span of a few decades.
- Two emerging innovative dragons: An analysis of the IPR strategy of China's Huawei and ZTEPublication . Godinho, Manuel Mira; Ferreira, VítorChina has been experiencing a historical take-off iin its use of intellectual property rights (IPR). This paper discusses the IPR strategy of two leading high-tech Chinese firms, Huawei and ZTE, analyzing how they are moving to global leadership in the telecom equipment market. Specifically, the paper addresses their IPR performance with respect to patenting and trademark registration in the most relevant global IPR systems. By 2008 Huawei had already reached world leadership in the international PCT patents applicants’ ranking, while in 2011 Huawei was substituted by ZTE in that position (with Huawei dropping to 3rd place). The paper shows how both firms have developed dynamic capabilities in innovation by investing strongly in R&D. This investment has reflected in a dramatic growth of patent applications. Even if a direct correlation between patent applications and capacity to innovate is not assumed, the growing demand for patents (and more recently trademarks) in different IPR systems reveals an aggressive technological and commercial stance of both firms on the global market.
