EP, of course the USA has been a criminal enterprise at times. Heck, in living memory they had "legal" racial segregation. Theft is epidemic. Taxes continue to be confiscated. There are political prisoners galore. There are all sorts of crazy things.

But by and large, patents and other private property are more or less protected in civilized countries. Certainly compared with barbarian countries such as Brazil, China and Africa [which can be reasonably bundled into one big cess-pit].
