Base on the research questionnaire statistic result to analyze the present condition of patent information use, the purpose and need of patent information use, the difficulty of patent information use and the differences between the content providers and the users. The important conclusions of this research are: (1)91.3% of the organizations tested in the research had applied patent before. Their purposes are mainly for internal use and the origins of technologies mostly came from self-innovations. They participated in patent applying processes as well. (2)Patent information services mostly come from external specialists with charge or internal personnel. the tested organizations often choose entire patent information manual as the services they chose, which indicates the demand of the original patent documents. (3)Patent information mostly comes from the free database. Except every country’s patent department searching system, there are some organizations retrieving patent information from company’s internal resources. (4)The main purposes of patent information use are to avoid infringement, searches of previous cases before applying patent and avoiding design. It appeals that organizations protect their self-innovation technologies by using this process. And the using purposes of the patent information with different seniority of are also varied. (5)The major task of patent information research includes patentability searches, infringement and state of the art. It appeals that organizations not only defend but also develop their own technologies. (6)The importance of patent information for organization is a shield in patent war and it can be used for developing technology analysis. Besides, it is crucial for enterprise’s producing, researching, and permanent operation. (7)Expensive database, interpretation of patent analysis and the research of vocabulary are the organizations’ main problems. (8)The demands of organizations’ patent information and personnel training are the same, which also reflect the obstacle of patent information use. According to the conclusions of this reach, there are two aspects which we can consider about: (1) Practical aspect: (a)The research for the possibility of gaining automatic keyword, suggestion and translation online. (b)The importance of patent watch to the industry research. (c) Patent information use in different industry of information technology. (2)Research method: This research uses questionnaire. The statistics can only reflect the objective facts but not consist the whole discussion for enterprises’ patent application, patent use and patent requirement. Thus we suggest that we should have a depth interview with the companies and analyze the related documents. Through quantitative and quantitative research of patent information use will become more perfect. Through the result of this research one can specifically understand the user’s practical condition, requirement and difficulty for patent information usage. This result of research will offer to patent information service providers to improve their service quality and as the reference to policies which is established by related departments of the government.
