"Small biotechnology companies rely heavily on their patents to attract investment," and "they will benefit from the improvements to our nation's patent system made by this legislation," added Greenwood. The America Invents Act (AIA) will shift the patent system from a "first to invent" to a "first to file" system, the first major change to the patent system in over 60 years. Under the "first to invent" system the first inventor to file for a patent will be awarded priority, regardless if the inventor was the first to invent it. Most major countries are already following the "first to file" patent system.
