: : : I have this question that has been following my thoughts for the past month. I found a great product/gadget here in US and I know that this is not present in many, many countries. And the status of this product says PATENT PENDING. Could I take this product into another country, start a patent and begin dealing the gadget? or What kind of problem would I be involved if I'd do so? : Dear Mr. Smith, : I believe that in all countries of the world that the inventor, or an assign from the inventor is the only legitimate party to file a patent application. : Changes over the original invention my be patentable. Care must be taken not to patent something that is dominated be a prior patent. : Not all inventions are patented worldwide, thus legitimate non patent use may be made of an invention patented in another country. : There may be risks of later treaty filings. You really need to be properly advised. : M.
