In the specific case of the new Mac Pro, I don’t really think there’s much IP to “rip off”: it’s a fairly ordinary PC in an unusual case running a pro portray OS that has been made to run on non-proprietary hardware for more than a decadeS. There’s not much that can be ‘ripped off’ that couldn’t be inferred from the year down of a single unit, and not much of value, honestly. They’re almost all off-the-shelf components and those that aren’t are already incorporated in other SKUs already produced on the mainland (such as the iMac Pro).
