Even if the laws exist in that other country, and even if they are enforced, you would need to have a familiarity with that country's legal system to be able to do anything about it. If you're intending to establish a major presence in that other country, and spend a lot of time getting to know the local legal (and economic and labor) system, it might be possible. But, if you're not wanting (or perhaps even able) to invest a lot of time in knowing this other country and how business happens there (including what the laws are and which ones are enforced and how to get them enforced), you should consider it an unavoidable risk that your IP gets leaked.
