Abstract In the era of knowledge economy, market competition has gradually evolved into the competition of intellectual property.With the deepening of patent competition, the fragmentation of patent resources in the emerging technology field in China has become increasingly prominent, which has seriously hindered the process of technology transfer, and has gradually become an important factor restricting the technological innovation and development of science and technology.However, the existing research has not been in-depth understanding of this and formed a systematic theoretical framework.This paper reviews the research on the fragmentation of patent resources, expounds the connotation, focuses on the causes of the fragmentation of patent resources, and systematically discusses the risk of market failure caused by the fragmentation of patent resources through the negative path of breeding "patent thicket", inhibiting "cumulative innovation" and leading to "tragedy of anti commons".Finally, it points out the existing governance strategies of the patent resources fragmentation, and proposes three future research directions, in order to provide a theoretical and application basis for actively responding to the phenomenon of patent resources fragmentation in the technical field and implementing patent management strategies.
