Features: This book provides a detailed summary and review of the basic theories and models of Western patent races, categorizing them into models such as memoryless, ε-first-mover rights, and patent race stages. It explores the role of these models in patent races and their applicability to the development of Chinese enterprises. Combining the technological spillover in patent races with the novelty principle in patent rights, it discusses the different impacts of spillovers caused by real and false information. Based on non-cooperative competition, it focuses on cooperative research in patent races, including technological cooperation between competing firms, Research Joint Ventures (RJVs), and the strategic selection of asymmetric partners. From the perspective of the domestic and international environment of patent races, it examines the international conflicts between China's patent system and the TRIPS Agreement, the quality of Chinese patents, and the impact of the 2000 patent law revision on the participation of Chinese enterprises in international patent races. Using experimental economics methods and theories, it conducts experimental research and analysis on the Grossman and Shapiro 1987 model (GS model) in patent races, verifying the adaptability of firms to participate in patent races and their related strategies. On this basis, it proposes corresponding patent race strategies for leading and lagging firms in the competition. This book can serve as a reference for faculty and students of technical management at universities and colleges, as well as for researchers and entrepreneurs in technical management and intellectual property management, providing insights and ideas for decision-making.
