Boy, you cannot take a hint, can you? The question is not whether a U.S. firm has won a patent infringement case against China or Pakistan, but how many. If you'd care to visit the U.S. trade Representative's website, you'd also learn that Pakistan (under its WTO obligations--gasp!) re-wrote its patent laws in 2000 to make foreign claims proceed more smoothly.

That's tremendous news. I hope this continues to develop along these lines. However, I think we both can agree that many foreign gov'ts pay more lip service than actual effort to many laws.... witness the repeated rapes and robberies of American Citizens in Tijuana -- by the police -- lately...

I do not maintain that the world is perfect, by any stretch of the imagination.

By the way:

Pakistan enacted a new patent law in 2000 that protects both process patents and product patents in accordance with its WTO obligations. Under this law both the patent-owner and licensees can file suit against those who infringe. However, backlogged cases in the courts could result in delays in issuing injunction orders against violators. [emphasis added]
