- mytailorisrich 7y agoCannot do that because those patents are used by products they sell to each other. Not recognising other countries' patents is really a possibility is you don't sell them anything similarly patented in return. For example, the US could get away with not recognising foreign copyright at one point because they had no copyrighted material of their own to sell abroad.
