摘要: 美国337调查是典型的知识产权贸易壁垒,中国企业应对的根本在于加强在美国市场的专利布局。理论上,企业在遭遇337调查后会加剧资源约束,加大了专利国际化的难度。然而在实践中,部分企业却能突破外部环境和内部资源的双重约束,实现专利国际化,现有文献还缺乏对这种现象的深入研究。本文使用模糊集定性比较分析(fsQCA)方法探讨我国高新技术企业在经历337调查后的专利国际化行为,并利用动态能力理论进行解释。结论表明:有四类企业可以在遭遇337调查后实现专利国际化,包括“内部能力-外部能力型”、“内部资源-外部能力型”、“内部资源型”和“外部能力型”企业。基于研究结论,本文为中国企业和政府提供了相应的实践启示。

Abstract: The 337 investigation of the United States is a typical intellectual property trade barrier while patent application in the US market is the most direct way to deal with such barrier. Theoretically, Chinese enterprises will be more constrained in capital and other resources after encountering 337 investigation, thereby increasing the difficulty of patent internationalization. Nevertheless, some enterprises can still realize patent internationalization despite the double constraint of external environment and internal resources. This phenomenon has received scarce attention. This paper uses a sample set of high-tech Chinese enterprises that suffered from the 337 investigation and adopts the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method. This paper further draws on the dynamic capability theory to explain the relationship between firms’ dynamic capabilities in promoting subsequent patent internationalization. The results show that there are four different paths for Chinese enterprises to realize patent internationalization after suffering 337 investigation, including “internal competency-external ability”, “internal resource-external ability”, “internal resource” and “external ability”. Furthermore, this study provides some practical implication for enterprises and government.
