The Inventor's Path: Why the US Patent System Is the International Inventor's Most Underrated Asset

The US patent system is valuable for its enforcement, predictability, and access to the world's largest consumer market.
As of July 20, 2026, the USPTO requires foreign-domiciled applicants to be represented by a US-registered patent attorney.
Domicile, not citizenship, determines the need for a US-registered patent attorney; a US citizen living abroad has a foreign domicile.
In 2024, China filed 1.8 million invention patent applications, while the US filed 603,194, but Chinese patents are harder to enforce.
A US patent allows inventors to sue for infringement in federal court, seek injunctions, and recover damages.
