How did changing the term of a patent from 17 years from the date of grant to 20 years from the date of filing an application motivate applicants?
What will be an ideal response?
If the period of protection clock is "ticking" from the moment one files an application for a patent, the applicant will be highly motivated to prosecute the application as diligently and as quickly as possible (rather than dragging one's feet to extend the term of protection if protection started from the date the patent was granted).
