In US, We apply for two patents one that covers US and another that covers International scope. The jurisdiction is still US but the patent would cover all countries that have US agreements in place.
I think we should separate the jurisdiction vs grant type/scope - US vs international.

I believe that use case is handled by patent families, which group patents filed into different jurisdictions and which represent a single thing that is being patented. That approach aligns with ST.96.

@planetlevel would you be able to review this? We have worked with WIPO on providing summary information for patents and patent families and we believe our current support for both of these are correct. Let us know otherwise. However, I'm particularly interested in a review of the patent assertions which allow BOM creators to assert their relationship with the patent (owner, licensing, etc). |
Implements patent support. Closes #596
