Question 1

Until recently, it was difficult to reconcile U.S. patent law with the patent law of other nations because:

The U.S. generated more new inventions each year than the rest of the world combined.

The U.S. used a first-to-file system.

The U.S. used a first-to-invent system for applications filed before March 16, 2013.

The body of U.S. patent law closely mirrored that of other nations, thanks to the TRIPS Agreement.
