摘要：

The worldwide surge of patent applications has recently been called "global warming of patents''. In this article an attempt is made to test this equation with a clearly negative connotation by analyzing the multilayered reasons for that surge and its future perspectives. Solutions are sought for the resulting backlog of some three million worldwide pending patent applications.
