AI patent owners have generally better biz outcomes, according to data I compiled in 2018. 25% of AI patent owners were acquired, compared to 16% for all US tech co’s during the same period. AI patent owners had a failure rate of just 11%, compared to >50% for all tech co’s.

Patent owners also benefit from better access to VC, amounting to an additional $770k per patent, on average, compared to VC portfolio co’s that do not own patents.
