(2) Haidian park owns the highest pivotability in the IETTN model, yet the related inter-enterprise patent cooperation is mainly concentrated in its internal, failing to facilitate the technology diffusion across multiple branch parks. (3) Such fields as \u201celectronics and information\u201d and \u201cadvanced manufacturing\u201d are prominent in the cross-technosphere cooperation, while fields such as \u201cnew energy\u201d and \u201cenvironmental protection technology\u201d can better promote industrial integration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Only the part of the joint patent application is taken into account while establishing the patent cooperation network.
