Abstract With the growing complexity of technology composition and the increasingly fierce market competition, the patent pool has become more prominent in promoting patent resource integration, development of technology innovation and industry. Comprehensive understanding of the patent pool is helpful to the successful formation. From the new perspective of product architecture theory, the patent pool can be clearly divided into two kinds: modular patent pool and integral patent pool in this paper according to the nature and function structure of patent itself. Based on the GSM and American Manufacturers Aircraft Association case analysis which are two existing typical patent pools, this paper illustrates the whole process of the construction, operation and government of patent pools, and then puts forward the corresponding governance mechanism for different types of patent pools, which provides knowledge theory and policy suggestions for patent pool to flexibly construct and smoothly run.
