It seems that not a day goes by without a commentary about Unicorns, a Silicon Valley-coined term used to describe a startup (pre-exit) with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. The number of Unicorns has recently crossed the 150 mark, and they have captured the attention of investors, analysts and other market observers who are trying to understand the factors driving the formidable valuations commanded by these ventures. A recent study conducted by Foresight Valuation Group explored the relationship between patent positions and Unicorn valuations. The study reveals that 30% of US Unicorns have no US patent assets (issued or pending), and about 62% of US Unicorns have only 10 or less US patents assets; these companies account for more than $157 billion in collective valuation and $25 billion in combined funding. – See more at: http://www.lesusacanada.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=789384
