摘要： 本文详尽梳理我国专利代理机制的变迁和专利代理行业的发展历程，从理论和实证角度考察专利代理服务对企业专利质量的作用效果及影响机制。研究发现：①提高城市专利代理服务水平显著提升了企业专利质量，并对发明专利产生了更强的作用效果。这一结论在考虑内生性问题、指标选取、企业迁移以及近邻城市影响后仍旧稳健。②异质性检验发现，提高专利代理服务水平更有助于国有企业、处于高技术行业企业、位于内陆城市企业、成立年限较低企业以及专利代理率较高企业的专利质量的提高。本研究为我国专利政策的有效实施提供了可行路径，对我国创新高质量发展具有重要现实意义。

Abstract: This paper exhaustively combs through the changes of China’s patent agency mechanism and the development history of the patent agency business, and examines the effect of patent agency services on enterprise patent quality and the influence mechanism from the theoretical and empirical perspectives. The study finds that (1) Improving the level of urban patent agency services significantly improves the quality of enterprise patents and produces a stronger effect on invention patents. This finding remains robust after considering endogeneity issues, indicator selection, enterprise relocation, and the influence of neighboring cities. (2) The mechanism test finds that improving the level of patent agency services is more conducive to improving the patent quality of enterprises that are state-owned, in high-tech industries, located in inland cities, in their early years after inception, and with higher rates of patent agency. The research in this paper provides a feasible path for the effective implementation of China’s patent policy, which is of great practical significance for the high-quality development of innovation in China.
