            Abstract : 
In this paper, patent indicators are selected to build patent evaluation index system of universities in Shanghai. The method of principle component analysis is used to conduct comprehensive evaluation. The patent indicators are carefully weighed in specific by their influences. As a result, the system is validated by a practical evaluation of 10 universities in Shanghai. It can be a useful guidance for both academia and industries.
