If EU did that, it would probably result in equal retaliation. It would mean that all patents and IP would become local. Stealing these things from others continents would become fair game, which would make patents and IP almost completely pointless.

Could we please try that out? Sounds like an interesting scenario.

You're telling me we could have more diverse innovation that catered to the needs of individuals if we allowed people to create tools that help them and their neighbors instead of saying "some guy decided a hundred years ago, on the other side of the planet, that this is what this tool looked like. If you call something else by this name we'll sue you and if you call something that looks like this something else we'll sue you for that too"?
