Though the drawing count of China patents has been applied for quantitatively giving the predictive values of A-share's financial indicators (Chiu et al, 2020a(Chiu et al, , 2020b(Chiu et al, , 2020c(Chiu et al, , 2020d(Chiu et al, , 2020e, 2020f, 2021Li et al, 2020aLi et al, , 2020bLi et al, , 2021, however, the relationship between the drawing count and A-share's financial performance has not been discussed therein. Tsai, Che & Bai (2022f) focused on China invention publication patents, discussed the average drawing count per patent and the total drawing count, and found that the average drawing count of invention publications was not a good indicator for differentiating China A-share's stock rate of return, whereas the total drawing count of invention publications was a good indicator because the A-shares having higher total drawing counts of invention publications usually showed higher stock rates of return.…”
