中文摘要：

专利合作能力是高校科技创新能力的重要组成部分，也是高校竞争力的关键因素。通过广度合作和深度合作评价高校专利合作能力，其中广度合作能力由合作专利数和合作企业数进行评价，深度合作能力由合作率、合作强度和活动年期进行评价，并利用熵值法确定指标权重，以广东省16所代表性高校的合作专利数据进行分析。结果发现，广东省同一类型或同一层次高校专利合作能力差异较大，专利合作能力与高校层次、地域不相关，专利合作缺乏长期性。结论对于高校加强专利合作与提升科技创新能力具有较高的参考价值，能为政府健全专利合作保障和激励机制提供决策依据。

英文摘要：

Patent cooperation capability is an important component for technology innovation capability for university as well as key factors for university competitiveness. This study proposes a method to evaluate such capability based on both breadth cooperation and depth cooperation, breadth cooperation capability assessed by collaborative patent applications and the number of collaborative enterprises, depth cooperation capability assessed by cooperation rate, collaborative strength and times of activity period. The weight of indexes determined by Entropy Method,the empirical analysis based on data of collaborative patents from 16 representative universities in Guangdong province concludes that patent cooperation capacity for universities in Guangdong province has big differences among the same type or the same level universities, capability not being related to Universities level and geographic location,lacking of long-term patent cooperation as well. The study re- sults have value of strong reference for universities how to enhance cooperation with industry and strengthen technology in- novation capability,while providing a sound basis for decision making for governments to perfect mechanism of protection and incentives for cooperation.
