Abstract
This study utilizes panel regression model to explore the relationships between corporate performance and the patent performance measured from patent H index, current impact index (CII), and essential patent index (EPI) in the pharmaceutical company. The results demonstrate that patent H index and EPI have positive influences upon corporate performance. Furthermore, this study developed a classification for the pharmaceutical companies to divide them into four types, and provided some suggestions to them. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
