2 ways to go about it
American patent holders seem to have the best of both worlds, when it comes to foreign patent infringements. They can seek the courts to refrain others from infringements or they can also file their complaints with the International Trade Commission (ITC). There is however a catch with the ITC complaint as it will have to support the view that a local industry is being threatened before it takes action. This clause will required the complainant to have an existing product already in the market before its complaint can be look into. Patent hoarders might not have this privilege, but then again, they might engage clever lawyers to argue for their case!

Blaney’s Blarney Order: you better know what it means.
In a first precedent of its kind, the British High Court issued an injunction via Twitter. The reason given was that the social smicroblogging site would be the best way to reach out to an anonymous tweeter who had been impersonating Donal Blaney (thus the name Blaney's Blaney Order). It does not matter whether the anonymous blogger will read it or not, but once it is served through Twitter, the Court will take it as if it has been served. Needles to say, this is the first of its kind in the world. So for the future, legal injunctions will be served via social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, or at least in the United Kingdom. Will other countries follow suite? You bet!
