The Office of Advocacy has funded several studies that examine the patent activity of small businesses (e.g., Breitzman and Hicks, 2008; CHI Research, 2002, 2004; and Eckhardt and Shane, 2006 to list a few). All show that small businesses outperform their larger counterparts in patent activity (issuance). Moreover, Breitzman and Hicks (2008) argue that small firms’ patents outperform large firms’ patents on a number of metrics including growth, citation, patent originality, and patent generality.
