International Patent Question

[awesom-o]

Sorry if this sounds stupid but patents are not my forte!

If there is an international patent pending for a product based in the USA what are the rules with a similar concept being replicated in Europe/ rest of the world? To what degree can you use a business/product concept and get away with if there is a WIPO in place?
