文章基于知识产权双重属性（具象技术资源属性和抽象权利属性）和创新活动范畴（单次创新活动和创新循环系统）的理论认识，探究知识产权对创新发展的驱动机制，以期为知识产权政策优化、评估、应用提供理论依据和新思路。采用扎根理论的研究方法，通过对粤港澳大湾区100份知识产权政策文本的分析挖掘，提取和凝练知识产权驱动创新发展的理论模型。研究发现，知识产权驱动创新发展体现在两个层面，一是通过知识产权保护、知识产权管理、知识产权运用来保障、促进知识产权经济价值、技术价值、信息价值的实现，进而促进创新环境搭建、创新主体培育、创新动力激励、创新要素集聚、创新决策支持；二是知识产权创新成果培育对于创新循环系统的催化具有加速作用。未来知识产权政策应继续优化公平竞争环境和创新服务供给，搭建良好的创新生态环境；更加突出知识产权创新成果培育的质量导向，以高质量知识产权创新成果为创新活动循环过程提供新动能；加强知识产权运营，以知识产权价值属性转化促进创新要素转化以激活创新资源，赋能创新能力；以知识产权评估评议促进创新资源配置，指引创新成果培育质量提升。

Based on the theoretical understanding of the dual attributes of intellectual property rights (concrete technical resource attributes and abstract rights attributes) and the category of innovation activities (single innovation activity and innovation cycle system), this article explores the driving mechanism of intellectual property on innovation, aims to provide theoretical and practical basis for the intellectual property policy optimization and evaluation. This paper adopts grounded theoretical research methods, and extracts the theoretical model of intellectual property driven innovation through the analysis of 100 intellectual property policy texts of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.The study found that intellectual property can drive innovation in two paths. The first is to promote the realization of intellectual property economic value, technological value, and information value through intellectual property protection, management and usage then promote innovation environment construction, innovator cultivation, innovation motivation incentive, innovation resource gathering, and innovation decision. The second is the accelerating effect on big innovation system by the intellectual property innovation cultivation. In the future, intellectual property policies should continue to optimize fair competition environment and supply of innovative services, and build a fertile innovation ecological environment; pay more attention on the quality-oriented intellectual property innovation cultivation, and provide fresh blood for the cycle of innovation activities; strengthen intellectual property operations to promote the transformation of innovative resource and the transformation of intellectual property value attributes then empower innovation capabilities; use intellectual property navigation to promote the innovative resources allocation and catalyze the upgrading of innovative activities.
