FAQ
Patents are country-specific and are rights limited to the borders of the issuing country.
If an earlier applicant obtains a patent first in their own country, can others subsequently patent the same invention in a different country? The simple answer “should” be no.
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.

Is a patent valid in every country? Patents are territorial rights. In general, the exclusive rights are only applicable in the country or region in which a patent has been filed and granted, in ance with the law of that country or region.
Novelty: One of the essential requirements for filing a patent in another country is that the invention must be novel, meaning it must be new and not previously disclosed. This requirement is necessary to prevent someone from filing a patent for something that already exists.
Does copyright law protect me against infringement by someone in another country? Copyright law is national in scope, and there is no international copyright law. However, international agreements such as the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works provide international protection.
A U.S. patent holder can block importation and sale of an infringing machine, manufacture or composition of matter in the U.S. and can sue for damages. Suit can be brought against foreign companies in U.S. federal court, so long as the patent holder can serve the infringer.
The most logical and simple way is to directly approach the Patent Office(s) in different countries and simultaneously file an application there. However, the process can be quite expensive and cumbersome as the inventor would have to simultaneously keep track of all the applications.
