Research on Strategic Intellectual Property Management for New Tracks of Future Industries: Taking Quantum Computing as an Example

未来产业新赛道的战略知识产权管理研究—以量子计算为例

Abstract

Future industries usually refer to industries at the forefront of science and technology and emerging technologies, with great development potential and the ability to lead future economic and social changes. In the development of future industries, how to effectively reduce high uncertainty, clarify ambiguous information, and define clear goals is the key to promote synergy, scenario development, and resource integration, in which strategic intellectual property management plays an important role. Taking the new track of quantum computing as an example, this paper analyses the whole chain of "creative conception - technological innovation - product R&D - industrial ecology construction" of future industries on the one hand, and explores the role of strategic intellectual property management in it on the other hand, and arrives at three levels of research results. Firstly, there is a "fuzzy front end" in the opening up of new tracks of future industries, and efficient strategic intellectual property management is needed to support the process from the generation and screening of creative ideas to the initial formation of concepts, in which strategic intellectual property planning and management plays the role of "adhesive". Secondly, the technology development of the new track of the future industry requires the formation of a collaborative innovation ecosystem among all parties, in which the target management of IP portfolio plays the role of "catalyst". Finally, the development of new tracks in future industries requires all parties to promote the synergy between the innovation chain and the industrial chain, in which strategic IP management plays the role of "lubricant". The superposition of these three roles drives the acceleration of the new track of future industries.
