Exploring the nonlinear effects of patent H index, patent citations, and essential technological strength on corporate performance by using artificial neural network

This study utilizes the artificial neural network to explore the nonlinear relationships between patent performance and the corporate performance of the pharmaceutical companies. Patent performance measured from patent H index, patent citations, and essential technological strength (ETS). The result shows that patent H index, patent citations, and ETS has the nonlinear effect on the corporate performance of the pharmaceutical companies.
