> Country A has very little recourse if Country B decides not to honor the intellectual property laws of Country A. The most that can be done is an embargo/sanction, which may or may not be a worthwhile tradeoff for country B, depending on the IP in question.
Embargo/sanctions are... quite a big deal? They will absolutely never be a worthwhile tradeoff for country B.
- 10000truths 5y agoNot always true. For country B = China, which has has plenty of trading power of its own, embargoes/sanctions can hurt the US, so that stick must be used sparingly. For country B = Cuba/Iran/North Korea/Venezuela, they are already under heavy embargoes/sanctions by the US, so why should they care about US intellectual property laws?
