The electronic information industry is a pillar industry for the growth of Chinas export trade. As Chinas largest exporter of electronic information products, the United States frequently initiates 337 investigations of intellectual property barriers against Chinese electronic information companies. Therefore, in order to improve the ability of Chinas electronic information enterprises to cope with the intellectual property barriers of the United States and promote the export of Chinas electronic information products, this article takes the US intellectual property barriers as the research object. It first analyzes Chinas electronic information product exports and encounters with US intellectual property barriers from 2005 to 2019, and empirically studies the impact of US intellectual property barriers on Chinas electronic information product exports using gravity model.It shows that for every 1% increase in the number of US 337 IP investigation cases, Chinas electronic information product exports to the United States will drop by approximately 0.1%, indicating that US intellectual property barriers have a certain inhibitory effect on Chinas electronic information product exports. Finally, based on the research conclusions, this article puts forward relevant suggestions from the government, industry and enterprise levels.
