Abstract
The article presents an analysis on the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the proliferation of improvidently granted patents in the market. It also discussed patent reform and institutional reform proposals and presented a model of the system which illustrated how "bad" patents can survive in the market. It also reviewed the patent invalidation system of the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) and Japanese courts in comparison to the USPTO.
