An analysis by the IP Consultancy, Byte Law®, asserts that the U.S. patent system faces a strategic, state-directed assault primarily originating from the People's Republic of China, which aims to acquire and exploit U.S. intellectual property for national technological advantage. The document highlights the fundamental conflict between the U.S. rights-based patent model and China’s state-directed industrial model, detailing how this difference allows for systemic exploitation. Specific tactics include the weaponization of legal mechanisms like the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the use of Anti-Suit Injunctions (ASIs) by Chinese courts to control global licensing rates and judicial sovereignty. Furthermore, the analysis describes mass-scale corruption through fraudulent filings that overwhelm the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the creation of "trash patents" driven by volume-based subsidies. The source concludes by mentioning recent U.S. policy responses, such as executive tariffs and new legislative countermeasures, aimed at combating this economic and national security threat.
