Yesterday must have been a bad day to quit sniffin' glue.

I knew separate patents were required by country (or the countries have a trade agreement stating they honor US patents).  My thought was this could limit EDIG's scope when DM puts on their Big Dawg pants and goes after a mean ole copy cat.  Product sold outside the US would not qualify.  

Now, I think not.  Amazing what a new day brings and I am still not sure how easy (or difficult) EDIG's IP is to "prove" in our legal system.  My guess is DM did all of that type of DD prior to signing on to represent EDIG -- although I also believe DM will call all the shots as it is their money on the line.  That's OK by me as they certainly seem to be very credible with a tenacious reputation.
