Abstract: The purpose of this study is to compare patent activities within 
the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) with France National Center for 
Scientific Research(CNR) and Max Planck Society(MPS) which have the 
similar national role outside China based on patent statistic. The results 
suggest that CAS tended to file more patents in its home country, while 
CNRS and MPS showed the most interest in patenting aboard. The tendence of 
technology international markets for three institutions all was to 
Australia, United States, Europe and Japan. For technology priority areas, 
three institutions had the same preference in the pharmaceutical field. 
Comparable with other two institutions, CAS had less technology inventive 
and collaborative activities than other two institutions. Three 
institutions have presented patterns of cross-sectoral collaboration with 
industry and university. And CNRS showed the strongest technology 
cooperation capability in its home country.
