Plagiarism means presenting the words, phrases, ideas or work of another, including certain facts and statistics, as if they were your own.
In a legal context, an infringement refers to the violation of a law or a right. This includes intellectual property infringements such as:
Copyright infringement
Patent infringement
Trademark infringement
In some jurisdictions, an infringement can refer to an administrative penalty system for minor criminal or regulatory breaches of the law. This process typically involves the issue of a notice either on the spot or by mail and disposition of the breach without the offender being required to be subject to prosecution or other formal court proceeding. Many road safety, public transport and local authority offences are managed in this way.

Employer……when you work for someone the product of your labor belongs to the employer. If you are a clerk in a grocery store and invent a can opener….the product of your work….being related to the business you work for belongs to the retail store owner and not you. If you decide to quit working at the grocery store and file for patent rights, the grocery store can file a claim against your patent application as the prior employer even if you wait five years to file the patent. Patents are complex legal documents that require certain steps to be taken at certain stages of the patent process. The process is unfair for the individual inventor and unreasonable taxing on all who dare enter those doorways. Patents thus protect corporations and businesses where patents are a defacto license to steal for 18 years, or forever if the business files for a trade secret license which is generally issued for processes that are required to produce products but cannot be done without the process. The trade secrete act ensures that the public will forever be enslaved to all of our utility industries forever. Congress voted on those laws that bind our hands so you could say…we did it to ourselves.

The answer is CHINA. That nation masters the practice of Reverse Engineering. It's otherwise known as intellectual property theft. Unfortunately, our collective governments are too busy negotiating, on bended knee, with this totalitarian state in a shameless attempt at access to this enormous market.

I was being sarcastic, guys. I hope no one took me seriously. Of course, stealing anything is despicable. However, I was trying to emphasize the need for inventors to copyright their inventions quickly.

I have a patent on a devise for years now. Hope that someone will want to buy it. Through the years I've had to sign agreements stating that anything created by me for the duration of my employ with this company is their property. Some companies required that a three year after employment contract be signed.
