The U.S. patent system is the primary contributor for the U.S. economy. Since the founding of the nation, the patent system has fostered an innovation culture that is directly responsible for making inventions that are more than all inventions accumulated in all major civilized regions in several thousands of years. However, the U.S. has inherent disadvantages in the political system and court systems. The inefficiency in patent adjudication has been used by corporations as an excuse for creating an anti-patent culture that is to make all inventions free for corporations. Corporate lobbying activities and litigation agenda have gradually influenced the government in forming an anti-patent political landscape in the last half a century.
