Due to proximity and rapid knowledge spillover, enterprises within industrial cluster are likey to imitate each other easily, Intellectual property laws cannot protect IP timely and effectively, because of universality of institution design to all industry, together with problems in its execution, including stringent apply standards, approval cycle length, and high litigation costs. Firm-level protection measures can improve appropriability, but difficult to work when dealing with other firms in cluster infringement. Based on case studies, we found Intellectual property protect regime of cluster could protect IP and its commercialization value.Intellectual property protect regime of cluster refers to the intuition that cluster governance institutions use their own power or authority to construct and execute, for the protection cluster enterprise IP and its commercialization value. Cluster governance institutions are committed to the protection of property rights, e.g. the leading enterprises to expand vendor management system, define the scope of protection and the responsibility of breach of contract; Associations clarify property rights by the constitution or convention, and execute it by using its own authority or the authority joint with local government; Local government use its power or higher authorities permission to help enterprises to apply for IP certificates, and punish imitattion enterprise. Intellectual property protect regime of cluster can be analyzed from two aspects, institution completeness and enforcement. Firstly, lowering the threshold of application protection products, to expand the scope of protection granted certificates timely. Secondly, institution enforcement focuses on economic, non-economic punishment and progressive sanctions. The Intellectual property protect regime of cluster reduce imitate and increase appropriability revenue.Based on case studies, we got the research propositions and refine hypotheses for empirical analysis. Based on empirical study, we found that national legal protection and enterprise level protection are related to reducing imitate and increasing appropriability revenue, but lack of explanation for the dependent variable, therefore, it is difficult to protect the cluster corporate Intellectual property effectively in the national level and the enterprise level. Intellectual property protect regime of cluster institution completeness and enforcement efforts significantly impact protection performance. And these receive the member enterprises collective action moderator, including the interests consistency, cognitive consistency and behavior consistency. Statistics found that Intellectual property protect regime of cluster protection effect is superior to the macro level and micro-protection measures, and cognitive consistency moderator effect is not support.The research of Intellectual property protect regime of cluster enriched Meso-level appropriability regime theory, analyzed cluster governance process, and expanded the protect context of resources-base view. Cluster governance institutions use own power (or authority) to build the institution and enforce to penalties, to achieve the purpose of reducing imiation behavior. Intellectual property protect regime of cluster completeness compensate for the insufficient of national intellectual property laws.Moreover, it integrated economic and non-economic measures so that make the enforcement of penaltiesmorc quickly and powerful. When it comes to management practice, cluster governance body should build protection system combined with local characteristics and execution it effectivelyp, to achieve cluster enterprise product differentiation and independent innovation, so as to promote the transformation and upgrading of the whole cluster.
