Abstract: In the knowledge-based economy, intellectual property (IP), as a solid form of knowledge, becomes a primary tool for firms to protect innovation, gain profits, maintain competitive positions, and accounts for a significant part of a firm’s value. Under the industrial transformation and upgrading background, Chinese firms has come across various challenges related to IP issues, which requires them to develop and implement appropriate IP strategies (IPS) to accelerate their growth. The extant researches on IPS are insufficient on theoretical construction and empirical validation, and lack of Chines context evidence. Based on the literature review, this research used the organizational learning theory to develop a framework for IPS, and analyzed 35 cases through content analysis method. Three interrelated dimensions of IPS were identified, and the theoretical and practical implications were also discussed.
