Proponents of the change point out that the current system greatly increases the time required to issue patents and creates a roadblock preventing new products, and in turn new jobs, from entering the U.S. economy. Presently it can take up to three years for a patent to be issued. The first-to-invent system is a major factor in delays, they claim, as patent disputes between inventors can drag out for months as each attempts to prove who was the first to invent. The first-to-file system would obviate any such claims.
