Abstract: Accurate measurement of technological innovation is of great value for China to achieve sci-tech self-reliance and self-strengthening at higher levels. Characteristics of “prominent substantive features” and “obvious progress” of the inventiveness of the technical solution limited by patent claims reflect the inherent connection between “patents” and “technological innovation”. Using the inventiveness of the technical solution limited by patent claims as the theoretical basis for measuring technological innovation, core indicators such as the number and the length of claims, as well as the “characterizing portion” of independent claims and dependent claims, as well as reference indicators such as citation index, family number, maintenance time, transfers number, licenses number, invalidation number, infringements number, applicant type and nationality of patent, are used to construct measurement methods of technological innovation that meet different needs, which to varying degrees improves the accuracy of measuring technological innovation methods based on patent indicators.

摘要： 精准测度技术创新对中国实现高水平科技自立自强具有重要价值。专利权利要求限定技术方案创造性的“突出的实质性特点”和“显著的进步”特征，反映了“专利”与“技术创新”的内在关联点。以专利权利要求限定技术方案创造性为测度技术创新的理论依据，运用权利要求的数量和长度以及独立和从属权利要求的“特征部分”和“限定部分”等核心指标，以及引证指数、同族专利数、维持时间、转让次数、许可次数、无效次数、侵权次数、申请人类型和国籍等参考指标，构建符合不同需求的技术创新测度方法，不同程度地提高了基于专利指标测度技术创新方法的精准性。
