Abstract: 【Objective】 To analyze the current status and bottlenecks of intellectual property (IP) achievement transformation and application capabilities, and propose mechanisms to improve the transformation efficiency. 【Methods】 Taking XAAS as a case study, we employed questionnaires, interviews, data collection, and literature analysis.By benchmarking advanced practices from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Qingdao University, we identified existing problems in IP transformation and explored new pathways for enhancing application capabilities. 【Results】 Awareness vs.Practice Gap: While most researchers (59.52%) had basic knowledge of IP laws, inadequate patent retrieval skills and weak IP management awareness hindered practical application.Collaboration Barriers: Despite clear IP ownership agreements in collaborative R&D, low participation in industry-university-research collaborations (e.g., limited market-oriented partnerships) resulted in a transformation rate below 10%.Market Disconnect: 69.05% of researchers cited the absence of market linkage mechanisms as the primary obstacle to transformation.Quality-Quantity Mismatch: High IP output volume contrasted with low transformation rates, indicating insufficient alignment with market demand.Leadership Limitations: Senior researchers dominated applied studies but lacked IP management expertise, impacting patent quality and commercialization potential 【Conclusion】 Low transformation rates and subpar IP quality stem primarily from weak market orientation and insufficient IP management capabilities.Enhancing patent value requires demand-driven R&D and strengthened industry-university-research synergy.Policy interventions should focus on bridging market gaps and empowering high-level researchers with IP management skills.
