I think you'll find those aforementioned Asian companies, by history's reckoning, raised the human concept of reverse engineering to a fine art, particularly when it came to the electronics sector and most certainly as it applies to the patent aspects of it. Now this is not to take anything away from them, 'cause ultimately ya also got to look at how the original holders of said patents kind'a sort'a dropped the 'ol ball by not having the vision, or understanding, of how their product/patent/idea could be ultimately applied and thus gave away cheap, cheap, CHEAP to the one who knew better, eh? And I take nothing away from all the fine independently derived ideas they've executed brilliantly. Bottom line is it's a jungle out there, and the one with the vision, and executable ability, is the one who often survives.
