I agree with DelhiDareDevil. If you can't protect your products with technological means you don't care enough about it.
There are no patents on the F-22. If you have the guts and the brains, and can copy the F-22, no one can do anything to you legally. But guess what, you will never even get close even if the blueprints are given to you, much less without the blueprints. Why? Because many top grade military things are never patented, but instead protected by other means, such as encryption or just flat out secrecy.
My dad's time working on piezoelectric materials for sonars was like this. His work was on characterization of piezoelectric materials through XRD and improving the process of monocrystalline piezoelectric growth. The first half was publishable, the 2nd was never published and never patented. The processes of crystal growth are highly guarded secrets that cannot even risk being patented.
If you care enough about your product, you can make it uncounterfeitable. If you don't, don't complain.
Drugged are the exception since their structures must be known by law.
Lol, basically you have quantified why the world thinks you guys are pariahs and keeps its emerging technologies away.
