Using 23 867 standard essential patents claimed for three different wireless telecommunication standards (GSM, WCDMA, and LTE), this research examined the difference in technological importance and breadth of patents between practicing and non‐practicing entities. We discovered that compared to manufacturers and service providers, organizations who do not appropriate innovation‐derived profits directly from product or service markets tended to have relatively low‐quality but broadly scoped technologies for the claimed standard essential patents. These relationships between the characteristics of inventions and the organizational types were consistently held across different generations of wireless standards as indicated by regressions run for each sample split by generation. Furthermore, the theory and policy implications of our results and arguments are presented herein.

标准必要专利的技术重要性和广度：移动电信技术的实践与非实践实体之间的比较

这项研究使用了针对三种不同无线电信标准（GSM，WCDMA和LTE）要求保护的23867项标准必要专利，从而研究了实践与非实践实体在技术重要性和专利广度上的差异。我们发现，与制造商和服务提供商相比，不直接从产品或服务市场获得创新收益的组织往往拥有相对较低的质量，但所主张的标准必要专利的技术范围较广。在不同标准的无线标准之间，发明的特征与组织类型之间的这些关系始终如一地保持着，这是针对每个按代划分的样本进行回归分析所得出的。此外，
