However that's just patents there are also trademarks which enforce the  
'style' of something and that doesn't just apply to the physical. As for  
whether that or even overseas patents are enforceable you have to look out  
for TRIPs. In theory TRIPs allows non-physical patents and therefore any  
signatory to TRIPs has to uphold them.
