Just a question here.

Do we need patent protection in every country we do sales in?
There's about 195 counties in the world a lot of missed markets if we do.

Found this:

Unless there is some special consideration, forget about filing for patents in Latin America (with all due respect), Africa, or the Middle East (although some exception for Israel) and former Soviet bloc countries. These regions have weak patent systems for getting and enforcing patents. In many countries where private ownership principles are weak, the courts and laws do not favor patent holders. Think too about whether you’d be willing to bankroll a lawsuit in one of these countries. That’s not to say that filing in these countries is never a good idea, just that your particular facts should justify it and the filings should be on an exceptional basis.
