There has been recent awareness of the economic value of patents. These have been displayed in civil society, the political and social arena. There has been an increase in the demand for international patents and an increase in the quality of patents. Patent Agreements currently under review include the Patent Co-op Treaty, Patent Law Treaty and Draft Substantive Patent Law Treaty. Of importance is the alignment of organisations around this especially the WIPO/ WTO/ WHO and their aim is to produce a better quality of patents, an efficient system and increasing the accessibility to the system.
