"Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in other countries must apply for a patent in each of the other countries or in regional patent offices. "

USA is not relevant. I can agree that China has a bad reputation however.

You must find a different angle....

This whole deal that app companies are going to just build their Own meter instead of buying the MM and the patents (that you have no clue of the description) are useless is just Stupid!!!

"But help is at hand. To encourage start-ups to register and protect their IP, Microsoft's 4Afrika initiative has begun a free service to help developers with the process and put lawyers at their disposal if they need to protect their patents.

Microsoft is experimenting with the program in Kenya and hopes to also develop it elsewhere on the continent.

Gaelyn Scott, head of the IP department at ENS, said there were signs of greater respect being shown for patents in Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Namibia."

In other words, they have protection in the African countries of importance. They have currently 16 African country patents at the moment.

"OTCMKTS:FARE) told investors it has now been awarded a patent in Africa for its Moto-Meter product.

Let's answer the question of how they are protected a bit more.

"Furthermore, nationals and residents of Thailand will be entitled, as from 24 December 2009, to file international applications under the PCT."

Thailand just updated its patent in 2009.

They are considered residents, and the company lives in Thailand. They are recognized by other countries as also being from Thailand.
