The Importance of an Effective and Reliable Patent System to Investment in Critical Technologies
As the U.S. patent system has weakened, venture capital investment shifted away from patentintensive industries.

In a series of case studies, they explain that changes to the U.S. patent system have made it less reliable and effective, driving investment of time and money away from critical technologies
