Summary:► We examine the relationships between patent performance and corporate performance. ► Patent performance measured from patent H index, CII, and EPI. ► Market value, ROE, and sales as the proxy variable of corporation performance. ► Patent H index and EPI have positive influences upon corporate performance. This study utilizes panel regression model to explore the relationships between corporate performance and the patent performance measured from patent H index, current impact index (CII), and essential patent index (EPI) in the pharmaceutical company. The results demonstrate that patent H index and EPI have positive influences upon corporate performance. Furthermore, this study developed a classification for the pharmaceutical companies to divide them into four types, and provided some suggestions to them.
