摘要
随着新一轮科技产业革命的兴起,知识产权制度设计在推动技术创新方面的重要性日益凸显。本文采用自然语言文本处理分析方法,量化了69个经济体间签订的140份区域贸易协定文本中的知识产权保护深度,基于两个经济体之间共同发明的PCT国际专利数据,探讨知识产权保护的区域合作对跨境合作创新的影响及作用机制。研究发现,知识产权保护的区域合作与跨境合作专利间存在非线性的倒U型关系,但有78%的观测点并未超过曲线拐点,即对大多数经济体来说,加强知识产权保护的区域合作有助于其跨境合作创新产出提升。进一步研究发现,高制度质量能缓解知识产权保护区域合作对跨境合作创新的边际递减效应。同时,在低水平知识产权保护区域合作情况下,双边投资协定能够增强其对跨境合作创新的边际递增效应。由此提出我国进一步深度参与全球知识产权治理,优化国内制度环境,相机抉择参与双边投资协定,以促进技术创新的对策建议。
In recent years,western countries led by the United States have attempted to strategically isolate and blockade China through technologies such as chips and lithography machines,which are crucial for advanced manufacturing.China's reliance on technological imitation,follow-up,and inadequate original innovation capabilities has become increasingly apparent.The solution to these challenges lies in deepening participation in international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation to promote high-level open innovation.International cooperation in innovation refers to collaboration among different countries,regions,or organizations in scientific research and development,industrial development,and knowledge sharing,aimed at jointly advancing the development and application of technology innovation.Meanwhile,the importance of intellectual property rules embedded in regional free trade agreements is becoming increasingly prominent internationally.These rules serve as crucial institutional designs to reduce trade and investment barriers related to intellectual property among nations,while harmonizing protection and encouragement for innovation.This study aims to investigate the impact of intellectual property protection rules in regional trade agreements on transnational cooperative innovation.Using natural language text processing methods,the research quantifies the depth of intellectual property protection in 140 regional trade agreement texts signed among 69 economies worldwide.Based on international patent cooperation treaty(PCT)data on jointly filed patents between pairs of countries,the study explores the effect and mechanism of intellectual property protection rules in regional trade agreements on transnational cooperative innovation.The results reveal a nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship between the depth of intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements and transnational cooperative patent outputs.However,on average,78%of observations do not exceed the turning point of the curve,indicating that increasing the depth of intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements generally enhances cooperative innovation output for most economies.Further research shows that high institutional quality can mitigate the marginal diminishing effect of intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements on transnational cooperative innovation.Additionally,bilateral investment agreements can accelerate the marginal increasing effect of intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements under low protection scenarios.This article makes several contributions.First,the research findings indicate a nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship between intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements and international cooperative innovation,mediated through the conduit mechanism of foreign direct investment.This study provides new insights into the impact of intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements on international cooperative innovation.Second,from the novel perspectives of institutional quality and the moderating role of bilateral investment agreements,this paper enriches the literature by exploring the social proximity dimensions of factors influencing international cooperative innovation.The research finds that high institutional quality helps alleviate the marginal diminishing effect of intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements on transnational innovation outputs.Moreover,bilateral investment agreements accelerate the marginal increasing effect of intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements only under low protection scenarios.Based on the research findings,we propose the following policy recommendations.Firstly,actively participate in the formulation of international intellectual property rules and dynamically adjust China's negotiation strategies on intellectual property protection in regional trade agreements in response to the evolving international and domestic environments.Secondly,continuously optimize the domestic institutional environment and improve the market-based allocation mechanism of factors to create a free and fair competitive market atmosphere for collaborative innovation entities.Lastly,during the signing and deepening of content in regional trade agreements,it is essential to coordinate and balance to fully leverage the regulatory quality and investment agreements to modulate the effects on international cooperative innovation.
