How patenting informs VC investors - The case of biotechnology (2014, background): “Several authors have pointed out that technology-based startups may also want to utilize patent rights to communicate the quality of their underlying technologies to investors (e.g., Lemley, 2000; Mann and Sager, 2007; Hsu and Ziedonis, 2011, Conti et al., 2013).”
What Is a Patent Worth? Evidence from the U.S. Patent “Lottery” (2019, background): “8 Our evidence on this point echoes prior arguments made in correlation studies (Conti, Thursby, and Thursby 2013, Hsu and Ziedonis 2013), survey studies (Graham and Sichelman 2008), and law reviews (Long 2002).”
From the crowd to the market: The role of reward-based crowdfunding performance in attracting professional investors (2017, background): “…the role of patents in reducing uncertainty surrounding new technology-based entrepreneurial ventures, and thus favoring access to funding from professional investors (Baum and Silverman, 2004; Heeley et al., 2007; Graham and Sichelman, 2008; Conti et al., 2013a,b; Hsu and Ziedonis, 2013).”
Venture capital investments and the technological performance of portfolio firms (2016, unknown): “These include the ex ante patenting performance of potential investees (Häussler et al., 2012; Conti et al., 2013b; Hsu and Ziedonis, 2013), so patenting can be seen as an antecedent of VC investment decisions, as well as a likely consequence.”
