Marine Organizational Collaborative Networks: Enhancing Technological Innovation for Environmental Monitoring

Buoy monitoring technology is one of the most widely used marine ecological environment monitoring techniques globally, capable of long-term, continuous, and real-time monitoring of targets. Examples include pollution monitoring buoys near offshore oil platforms, acceleration monitoring buoys for the rise and fall movements of deep-sea aquaculture cages, and radiation monitoring buoys for nuclear power plants at sea. The buoy monitoring stations can be flexibly positioned, with a wide range of observation areas (nearshore and offshore) ). Prior to 2014, the limited number of buoy-related joint patent applications did not allow for reliable statistical inferences. Therefore, this paper selects joint patent applications for buoys from 2013 to 2023 as the primary subjects for network construction. The patent data used in this paper are sourced from the Patent Search and Analysis System of the National Intellectual Property Administration of China (http://pss-system.cnipa.gov.cn/).浮标监测技术是全球应用最为广泛的海洋生态环境监测技术之一，可对监测目标开展长期、连续且实时的监测。其应用实例包括近海石油平台附近的污染监测浮标、用于深海养殖网箱升降运动的加速度监测浮标，以及海上核电站辐射监测浮标。浮标监测站可灵活布设，观测覆盖范围涵盖近岸与远海海域。2014年以前，与浮标相关的联合专利申请数量有限，无法支撑可靠的统计推断。因此，本文选取2013年至2023年的浮标相关联合专利申请作为网络构建的核心研究对象。本文所用专利数据来源于中国国家知识产权局专利检索分析系统（http://pss-system.cnipa.gov.cn/）。
