Patent infringement: exploring multi-territorial issues

Patents are powerful tools that can be used to stop unauthorised parties from performing certain acts, such as making a patented product or using a patented process. However, patents are territorial in nature such that a patent has no effect, in terms of being useable to prevent unauthorised parties from performing infringing acts, outside of the territory in which it was granted. For example, a UK patent protecting an invention cannot be used to stop somebody from exploiting the invention in the USA, unless there are also infringing acts taking place in the UK.
