Not so sure of that having to apply for a patent in every country. I remember reading where Apple had patents in Puerto Rico on something that would cover the us, FOR INSTANCE, and not registered in the US Patent office. Think about that:

Puerto Rico lies in between a state and a seperate country. It is officially part of the United States, but it isn’t really a state. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has some of its own laws when it comes to Intellectual Property. Puerto Rico falls under the U.S. federal laws when it comes to patents and trademarks. Trademarks are a little different. US trademark registrations under the Lanham Act cover Puerto Rico, but a Puerto Rican registration with the Puerto Rican government can give a trademark owner more rights locally.
