Stealing is how you catch up. Imaginary property laws were also lax in the US as it was growing. By the way, the "they just steal, they have no creativity" line was the same old bullshit trotted out against Japan while Japan was outcompeting us. Unfortunately for Japan, they're a US ally and were bullied into adopting a financially-engineered ticking time bomb that exploded and left them with multiple lost decades.
Sorry but the patent system you have in the US is absolute bullshit that benefits very little and is prone to abuse by patent trolls.
Japan literally took American ideas and make them work. Japan brought over American innovators who were stifled at GM and Ford. They put in the production that killed Detroit.
