They don't stop Asians from making it in Asia. Cause a document signed here has very little and really no affect what other countries do. IE. we could abolish Coal fire and China would still build them. Heck Cuba's building two of em, any poor country is really building them because Nuclear power is to scary for the world, and far too expensive to build in North America. Something like %20 of total costs is actually building and supplying the facility, the rest is all fees/permits/inspections/licenses/etc. So, nothing we pass as law will affect other countries. Unless we were in power of the whole world. . .

"Canada should just attack someone, no one would see it coming. I'll bet we could take 3 or 4 countries before anyone really noticed. 'They were such a nice loving country.' We'd be the country that just, SNAPPED, one day." - Glen Foster - That Canadian Guy

But they do stop them from selling them in the US.

The lawsuit could have an injunction placed on CA preventing them from shipping to the US until the lawsuit is resolved - which could take years. It could take a HUGE chunk out of CA's business.

Patents DO work in Asia... just not Taiwan, supposedly. It's like the little copyright Bermuda Triangle. lol.

Patents are only enforceable in the country that issues them.
So a US patent is NOT enforceable in Canada.
For example... you have a US patent for a new gun, but no other patents in any other country. Then some enterprising person can make an exact copy of that gun and sell it, so long as that person doesn't make it or sell it in the US. Oh, this copy gun can't be imported into the US either.

cause then when ever a country said i'm socialist we hate the west the russians would THROW them AK's by the ship load and the russians never really enforced any patents because Russia was like "meh just means more guns the kill the capitalist pig dogs"

[vatek]

Yup, this is the same as Noveske suing them over their KX3 replica. And there are shitloads of AKs because they are easy and cheap to make. I don't think Russia HAD a patent system at the time the AK-47 was created. That's why the Chinese make their Type-56, and almost every east European country makes their own version.

ah, captial pigs are ghey. im gonna watch red dawn now.
