A company focused on the research and development of industrial manufacturing simulation software encountered problems of insufficient patent protection and weak integration of academic resources in the innovation of core solver algorithms. The "multi physics field coupling simulation solution algorithm" developed by the enterprise has reached the international advanced level in the simulation accuracy of complex working conditions, with an error rate controlled within 3%. However, its core algorithm is only protected by software copyright and has not been patented, facing the risk of being analyzed by reverse engineering; At the same time, due to the lack of academic achievements support, it is difficult to attract scientific research forces from universities to participate in joint research and development, which restricts the speed of technological iteration.

After our intervention, we found through technical research that there are two core pain points for enterprises: first, the technological boundaries of algorithm innovation have not been clearly defined through patents, and second, research and development data have not been effectively transformed into academic achievements. To this end, we have developed an integrated plan of "patent certification+paper drainage+industry university research docking". In terms of patent layout, we assisted enterprises in applying for 10 invention patents for 6 key technologies, including core iterative methods and convergence optimization strategies for solving algorithms. We adopted a combination of "method claims+device claims" to comprehensively cover algorithm logic and software implementation. Among them, the patent for "a multi physics field coupling solution method based on adaptive grids" successfully built a core technical barrier.

In terms of academic achievement transformation, guide the R&D team to select content such as algorithm convergence proof and engineering application cases, and write 3 academic papers, focusing on the application effects of algorithms in the fields of aerospace and high-end equipment. By optimizing the structure of the paper and highlighting the scientific and innovative nature of the experimental data, two papers were included in the Journal of Computer Aided Design and Graphics, and one paper was presented as a keynote at an international engineering simulation conference. When publishing a paper, citing publicly available patents of the enterprise as the technical foundation not only ensures patent novelty but also enhances the technical relevance of academic achievements.

With the dual support of patent layout and academic papers, the enterprise successfully established industry university research cooperation bases with two universities, jointly applied for national level industrial software research and development projects, and was approved for a funding of 15 million yuan. Patent protection effectively prevented 2 cases of algorithm plagiarism, and the complaint rate of software product infringement decreased by 80%. The enhancement of academic influence has helped companies attract 5 PhDs to join their R&D teams, accelerating algorithm iteration and upgrading. The software market penetration rate has increased from 10% to 25%, and more than 30 new customers have been added in fields such as new energy equipment and rail transit. The annual sales revenue has exceeded 180 million yuan, achieving a two-way breakthrough in technology protection and industry university research integration.
