The patent mania of large enterprises refers to those large and powerful enterprises that are extremely possessive of patents. These enterprises usually have a group of professional patent teams, which constantly carry out technology research and development and patent application. The patents they applied for covered various fields, from product design to business model, from technical solutions to management methods. The quantity and quality of these patents are very high, which is very important for the future development of enterprises.
There are many reasons for patent mania in large enterprises, the most important of which is to protect their own innovation achievements. In the era of fierce competition and rapid technological change, maintaining innovation advantage is the key to the survival of enterprises. Patent application can ensure that the technology and innovation achievements of enterprises will not be easily imitated by other competitors, thus protecting the competitive position of enterprises in the market.
However, there are also some problems with patent mania in large enterprises. Some enterprises abuse patents in patent applications, use patents to create barriers, inhibit market competition, and ultimately hurt the interests of consumers. Therefore, enterprises must have a clear patent strategy, regard the right to use the patent as a strategic asset, not only protect their own interests, but also not deprive market competitors of their rights too much to achieve long-term sustainable development.
