Family size and the number of assignees come out as the most consistent indicators, while notably, forward citations turn out to be not important. This discrepancy with past studies is investigated. We propose some of the institutional features in the Chinese patent system could lead to the forward citations not as informative as their counterpart in other jurisdictions. The findings bear important implications as Chinese patent data are increasingly being used in innovation studies. 000049046 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/pages/using-the-content/citation 000049046 590__ $$aPublished online: 2023 000049046 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000049046 650_0 $$aPatents$$zChina. 000049046 650_0 $$aPatents. 000049046 7001_ $$aYin, Zhifeng,$$eauthor. 000049046 7001_ $$aSun, Zhen,$$eauthor. 000049046 7731_ $$tIndustrial and Corporate Change,$$wINCC 000049046 830_0 $$aIndustrial and Corporate Change ;$$vVolume 32, Issue 6. 000049046 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/icc/dtad026 000049046 904__ $$aJournal article 000049046 980__ $$aINCC
