Q: Hi, I'm trying to figure out if Open Table patents apply internationally, or only in the United States. Thank you
A:
A patent is good only in the jurisdiction that granted that patent. So US patent is good only in the US.
Now, it is possible that Open Table filed the same patent in other jurisdictions. Usually, these patents have the same inventor, and the same priority. You may search for them at https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/search.jsf
If you need help, please let me know.
Good luck!
