G 40 concludes that small businesses have beq n important contributors to the innova- ti cn process and that they have been more ac ive in invention than in innovation (actual- ly Ibringing an invention to market). W ,ile GAO was not able to generalize from th= existing evidence to specify the level of s nall businesses' future contributions, no ev- idnce was found to suggest that they might be less important to invention and innovation in the future than they have been in the past. \?
