Does a new technology design need a patent for each region of the world or can a blanket one be obtained?

[MrCommodore]

And does the patent need to be renewed regularly? If so what cost roughly?

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Patents and trademarks are territorial and must be filed in each country where protection is sought. A U. S. patent or trademark does not afford protection in another country. Patent protection is granted for a limited period from the filing date of the application. That also depends on the location. It's generally 20 years.

[MrCommodore]

Thank you for the clarification. I'm assuming it's quite costly from region to region.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

That you'd have to find out. It may be cheaper depending on the country.

I'm not a expert but as far as I know one size fits all

[MrCommodore]

From what I can see online, a patent would need to be filed in every region/Country globally, which seems a massive effort. I was sure there were modern agreements in place to avoid that.

I bet Einstein didn't have that shite to deal with

More importantly Taylor has a home fight ☺️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Aye you're right, his only worry was whether he'd have a fish or sausage supper on the way home from the pub.

I heard Katie had got the go ahead, really delighted for her, long overdue.

[lottiebannotie]

[MrCommodore]

She will win, she has that warriors spirit, a wee bit bit like yourself 😉.
