“…Secondly, our research is related to the literature on how IPR protection influences enterprise GTI. Previous literature has investigated the relationship between IPR protection and total factor productivity (TFP) from the perspective of the government-business relationship and innovative expenditure [28]. In our study, we advance further by exploring the mechanism of foreign investment entry and R&D investment, as well as the moderating role of human capital and financing capacity.…”

The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of intellectual property rights (IPR) on green technological innovation in China. The study utilizes a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, to provide empirical evidence on the subject matter. According to the findings, IPR protection may have a favorable impact on the green technological innovation (GTI) of firms. According to mechanism testing, the channels by which IPR protection influences businesses’ GTI are research and development (R&D) input and foreign investment entry, whereas the human capital and finance capability of firms can favorably moderate the link between IPR protection and GTI. According to heterogeneity tests, private firms, exporting firms, and firms in industries with a high degree of monopoly are more notable for their promotional effect of IPR protection on the GTI of firms.

“…In addition, some literature has examined the impact of IPDC on firm-level innovation. Zhu and Sun [45] found that the IPDC program promotes technological innovation and thus increases total factor productivity in firms. Fang, Lerner [8] found that the IPDC program promoted innovation and was particularly effective for private companies.…”

“…On the one hand, one of the focuses of the IPDC program is to facilitate intellectual property pledge financing services so that companies can more easily obtain financing support [47]. Enterprises can use their intellectual property as collateral to obtain financing, which can reduce the cost and risk of financing for enterprises and improve their financing ability [45]. IPDC program can also provide intellectual property valuation and trading services, enabling…”

Although the literature has assessed the impact of Intellectual property protection on urban innovation, there is still a gap in the assessment of the impact of green innovation at the firm level. This study constructs a multi-period differences-in-differences (DID) model using China’s Intellectual Property Demonstration Cities (IPDC) as a quasi-natural experiment to investigate the impact of IPDC on corporate green innovation. The findings indicate that (1) the IPDC program significantly stimulates corporate green innovation and has long-term effects. This finding still holds after using PSM-DID as well as robust IW estimators. (2) Mechanism analysis suggests that IPDC can promote firms’ green innovation by reducing R&D spillover losses and alleviating financing constraints. (3) Heterogeneity tests show that the IPDC program has a more significant promotion effect on small, state-owned, growth-stage firms. Based on the above findings, this study provides policy implications for enhancing intellectual property protection to stimulate corporate green innovation.

In a high‐quality economic era, China needs innovative development. Intellectual property (IP) innovation and development are the first driving forces in China. At the same time, China has signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement (RCEP), which has had a significant impact on the development of China's IP law. Under the combination of these two factors, China's IP innovation and development environment are worth studying. This paper uses the “factor analysis method” from five dimensions, including initiatives for civic awareness, regional IP development foundation, legislative support, law enforcement measures, and judicial protection, to study the development environment of IP innovation in 31 provincial regions in China, in the past 3 years. It is found that IP development in various regions of China is insufficient in some way, and the scores of different provinces vary greatly, so it will inevitably affect the development of China's IP integrally and then affect the construction process of strong provinces and cities with intellectual property rights (IPR). The novelty of this research is its in‐depth investigation into how the RCEP and global partnerships are influencing the transformation of China's intellectual property landscape. This transformation requires legal adjustments and underscores the importance of specialized IP judge training, alignment with international norms, and regional IP progress to realize China's ambition of becoming a dominant force in intellectual property. Combined with the fact that RCEP has come into effect in China and has had a significant impact, it is necessary to develop China's IP undertaking from legislative, judicial, law enforcement, and international cooperation aspects.
