Research On Intellectual Property Risk Within International Operation Of Chinese Communication Equipment Manufacturing Enterprises

Communication equipment manufacturing enterprises have been the important force within international operation,and intellectual property risk has been one of the most important risks on the road to international market for them.So the communication equipment manufacturing enterprises need to carry on risk management to identify,prevent,and resolve the intellectual property risk.Based on the theory of risk management,the research focuses on intellectual property risk within international operation that communication equipment manufacturing enterprises face by the method of case study.The research is helpful for communication equipment manufacturing enterprises to manage intellectual property risk.First,beginning with the situation of the international operation of communication equipment manufacturing enterprises,the research analyses the intellectual property environment they are surrounded from three dimensions,including the geographical distribution of international patent,the holders of international patent,and intellectual property competition of main product.Based on that,the research analyses three kinds of intellectual property risk,including the risk caused by Non-Practicing Entity,competitor and supplier.The lack of self-innovation ability,the low intellectual property ability,the backward intellectual property layout,and negative action are the internal factors causing intellectual property risk,on the other hand,as patent combines with standard,international protection for intellectual property strengthens,and incomplete intellectual property protection mechanism,the intellectual property risk can be more serious.Then,the research analyses the intellectual property risk faced by ZTE Corporation and its tactics disposing the intellectual property risk.Intellectual property risk mainly takes place in Europe and America,and it may be caused by Non-Practice Entity,competitor and supplier.ZTE Corporation is able to effectively prevent and resolve the intellectual property risk,and it should owe to its intellectual property strategy.Its intellectual property strategy is the integration of intellectual property management,intellectual property creation,intellectual property protection,intellectual property layout and intellectual property utilization.In the end,the research gives some tactics for communication equipment manufacturing enterprises to prevent intellectual property risk within international operation from three dimensions,including the communication equipment manufacturing enterprises,the communication equipment manufacturing industry and the government.
