Will patentees suffer if the USA moves to a different lifetime for its patents?

Abstract

A statistical analysis was made of the delay between application date and publication date of a sample of US patents. The average delay for US derived applications was 20.66 ± 1.83 months and for foreign derived applications 22.36 ± 1.82 months. Hence the conclusion is that if the US changed its patent term from 17 years from publication to 20 years from application, the vast majority of patents would obtain a longer lifetime.
