Identification of Technology Catch-up Path from the Perspective of Technology Leapfrogging

  • Online:2021-12-20 Published:2021-12-23

摘要: Objective To propose a method to identify the shortest catch-up path by using patent data based on the perspective of technology leapfrogging so as to provide a reference for the catch-up strategy formulation by the governments of the developing countries. Methods Firstly, the international patent classification (IPC) co-occurrence network was used to screen key technologies, and the TOP 5 countries and China were located from the aspects of technology life cycle and technological innovation capabilities. Next, the technology development path based on the ordered clustering algorithm and the main IPC number was set up. Finally, the Dijkstra algorithm was applied to identify the shortest catch-up path. Results and Conclusion Applying this method to the current biopharmaceutical industry with the most potential for development, the shortest catch-up paths are found in the selected C12N15, C07K14 and C12Q1 technology fields, proving the feasibility of the method.
