Global Patent Litigation Shifts as Courts Outside the U.S. Gain Influence

International patent disputes are becoming more geographically diversified, with a new Cornerstone Research report finding that the United States is no longer the dominant forum for patent litigation. The analysis points to a broader shift in how major technology patent cases are being fought across global markets.

• The report, Intellectual Property Litigation: U.S. Trends in Global Perspective, highlights that patent cases are increasingly spreading across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrating in one country.
• This trend matters for technology inventors and companies because forum choice can affect litigation strategy, enforcement pressure, and the pace of patent disputes.
• The finding suggests a more fragmented global patent landscape, with major economies competing more actively as venues for high-value intellectual property disputes.
