I doubt it. The next computing giant will want to sell in the US, too. Patent laws don't cover where you're from, they cover where you sell (or where you give away free stuff but make money from ads). You'd have to block all US visitors from your site to avoid the US patent system.

I've been thinking about workarounds. Could a "I confirm that I'm from Malaysia" button do the trick?



May be the future companies will price products higher in US markets.
