This will have interesting effects for US patents that are practiced on AWS machines in Canada to serve client devices in the US. All the steps of a method claim in a patent must be performed in the US to infringe, so choosing to use machines in Canada will create defenses for many extant US patent claims.
This only works for method claims, though. Device claims in patents are a different beast.
And of course, this isn't new, but a AWS region in Canada will make the issue more prevalent.
- falsedan 11y ago> a AWS region in Canada will make the issue more prevalent How on earth will it? The EU region launched 9 years ago & AP 6 years ago. Would the prevalence be in Canadian businesses who weren't aware of these other regions and the legions of other hosting providers available outside of the USA?
