 From a national economic standpoint, even the US has an incentive to pump out as many patents as possible, no matter how frivolous, in order to extract money from corporations in other countries, since the US is using the WTO to push its "intellectual property" regime onto as many countries as it can. 

According to TFA, nearly half of all patents awarded in 2003 were awarded to foreign inventors. There will be just as many foreign companies using the system to extract money from US companies as vice versa.


Ca veut dire que plus de la moitié sont américains quand même, hors les USA ne représente ni la moitié de l'économie mondiale, ni la moitié de la population, ni la moitié des innovations, c'est bien là le problème...
