That's true. Even if a patent was filed, I can imagine some countries ignoring the patent and using the technology. In that sense it would be similar to some drugs that are very inexpensive to produce, but patented and very expensive to buy. Some governments have chosen to promote the creation of generics for their domestic market anyway.
