Allen said "The applications are not just US patents; they are also
international."

Filing in this manner is not unusual.  However, just because a patent issues
in the US, does not mean it will issue in Europe.  As said before, the
Europeans have far higher standards and hurdles than we do.  I don't know
anything about the Canadian system.
