IP works differently than code, and it is often subjective. See: copyright infringement. > Are we going to have vineyards suing each other because X wine smells too similar to Y? No, because the smell of (most) wines is not trademarkable, being a function of the product. Trademarking scents is difficult[1]. Attempts to quantify scent trademarks / music copyrights are doomed to fail. Partly because every person experiences these sensory inputs differently. Two smells could be very different chemically yet indistinguishable to real people. 1. https://www.orlaw.com/intellectual-property/yes-can-trademark-smells-not-easy/ https://www.orlaw.com/intellectual-property/yes-can-trademar...
