#46 Patents: The Smarter Tech Investments

Klinski suggests investing in patents as a lower-risk, higher-efficiency approach to capital deployment in the technology sector. He highlights how patents can function like financial options, offering exposure to upside while limiting downside, and notes that China's investment landscape is already embracing this strategy. This episode also discusses how engineers often miss patentable innovations, particularly in digital domains, and stresses the importance of timing patent investments within the technology lifecycle to capture maximum value. Ultimately, Klinski presents patents as a powerful tool for innovation finance, capable of outperforming traditional equity investments when approached strategically.
