报告摘要：
We build a quality index which allows measuring the quality of Chinese PCT applications with respect to an international benchmark. Our quality index compares the number of citations received by Chinese PCT applications to the number of citations received by non-Chinese PCT applications of the same priority year and technology classes. Self-citations are excluded to base the quality assessment only on the later use by third parties. Furthermore, citations from the country of the applicant are excluded to be neutral with respect to the technological specialization of countries. We analyze PCT applications of China’s domestic, listed firms for the time period 2001-2009. Compared to the average international quality level of 100%, these applications reach a significantly lower value of 34%. Furthermore, quality is strongly declining from 67% to 16% throughout our sample period. Reassuringly, we find a robust positive relationship between patent quality of firms and their R&D stock as well as their patenting intensity measured as PCT stock divided by employees. Our analysis shows that the great expansion of international applications from China was achieved to the detriment of quality.
