Title: Estimates of the value of patent rights in China 
Abstract: We estimate the value of Chinese invention and utility model patents
	that were applied for during two periods, 1987-1989 and 1986-1998. We
	find that patents applied for by foreign entities invariably have higher
	value than do those applied for by domestic entities, and the gap is
	significant. The total value of invention and utility model patents in
	the 1987 cohort together represent about 40 per cent of China's 1987
	governmental R&D budget.
