What the Global Patent System Needs Now

What the global patent system needs now is the global consensus necessary to evolve. It needs to commit to further develop patent law's existing institutions to produce a properly integrated international system to replace the patchwork of inefficient and cumbersome national systems that exist presently. What the global patent system needs is to replace the current system of nation states maintaining separate national patent offices, granting national patents and enforcing patents individually in national courts with a properly integrated international system. Such a properly integrated international system is one whereby an international patent office grants unitary patents that are recognized and enforceable in all countries of the world.
