This paper aims to systematically investigate the impacts of strengthening intellectual property rights on patenting in China’s high-technology industries and to explore the potential differences in response to patent reform by ownership.Empirical results show that the estimated patent elasticity of R&D is lower than that for OECD countries,indicating relatively low R&D productivity for China’s high-technology industries.The direct innovation effect of technology imports is negative,while the absorptive ability embodied in R&D helps in gaining external sources of knowledge,thus contributing to innovations.Specifically, strengthening intellectual property rights can induce more innovations in terms of patents in China’s high-technology industries and is particularly relevant to foreign-owned hightechnology enterprises.
