Siebel, Oracle, and Microsoft don't have any IPR that prevent other companies from developing competing products.

Their software, training material and manuals are copyrighted. Each also has many patents. I believe that they do have IPR that prevents companies from developing competing products.

For example, if an Oracle clone RDBMS was developed that provided an RDBMS software platform that would transparently support software developed written with Oracle development tools, no doubt, Oracle would successfully pursue legal remedies that would put that firm out of business.
