Resumo

_{This study examines the influence of the legal environment on technology standardization in new energy enterprises. The purpose is to clarify how existing legal frameworks both promote and constrain standard-setting processes. A combination of theoretical analysis and empirical investigation is employed, including a review of relevant laws, case studies of enterprises, and comparative analysis across industry sectors. The research identifies several critical challenges in the current standardization process: the unclear scope of legal applicability, difficulties in implementing technical standards, and variations in technological development across industries. Empirical findings show that these legal ambiguities directly affect enterprises’ ability to develop and adopt standardized technologies, leading to inconsistencies in innovation outcomes and industry competitiveness. To address these issues, the study proposes targeted legal clarifications, enhanced enforcement mechanisms, and cross-industry coordination strategies. The results demonstrate that a well-structured legal system significantly facilitates technological standardization, supports innovation diffusion, and improves operational efficiency in new energy enterprises. These insights offer practical guidance for policymakers and industry stakeholders seeking to optimize legal frameworks and promote standardized technology development.}
