The US patent system is one component in the exploitation and enforcement of intellectual property rights. The US cannot be viewed in isolation from the rest of world, however. When it comes to intellectual property in today’s global economy, more and more US patentees seek and obtain foreign counterpart patents to protect their ideas. The effectiveness of both foreign and domestic patent systems, therefore, can have a great impact on the value and enforcement of US patents.
