The interaction between technical patents and technical standards

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, with the growing integration of technical patents and technical standards, it is necessary to clarify the interaction between them. By taking telecommunication as the research sample, cointegration analysis and error correction model are employed to infer the data of long-term time series. It shows that there is a long-term stable dynamic equilibrium relationship between technical patents and technical standards. The results of Granger causality show that there is a significant causal relationship between technical patents and technical standards. Technical patents have a positive effect on technical standards, which indicates technical patents are the foundation for technical standards.

Key words: technical patent, technical standard, cointegration analysis, Granger causality
