Is the patent available in other countries such as Mexico, Canada worldwide? Yeah, absolutely. You can get patents or have geographic limitations. So every country has its own patent office and its own system of laws. But the beauty is there are international treaties, where you can file one application, and that will pretty much freeze your rights worldwide. So the more most important thing for a startup or an individual inventor is to get that first application in and then you have plenty of time to worry about foreign protection. You have a one year grace period to file in, in most of the world under these international treaties.
