The U.S. Patent System isn't the only Patent System considered to be problematic, according to a FT.com article.

According to a recent study commissioned by Brussels, the cost of registering patents across the EU typically varies between €€37,500-€€€57,000 ($45,500-$69,200). By contrast, the cost of registering a US patent is about €€€10,000 - a factor often cited by Brussels officials as part of the explanation for the EU'’s failure to improve its levels of innovation.
