I should add that the context should dictate whether \"patent infringement\" or just \"unfair competition\" will suffice...

unfair exploitation of [others'/competitors'] work results


Explanation:
Or 'dishonest...'

To quote myself in another place:
There is a broad provision in section 1 of the Gesetz gegen den Unlauteren
Wettbewerb (UWG):

§ 1 [Generalklausel] 1Wer im geschäftlichen Verkehre zu Zwecken des
Wettbewerbs Handlungen
vornimmt, die gegen die guten Sitten verstoßen, kann auf Unterlassung und
Schadensersatz in
Anspruch genommen werden.

and under this the courts refer to various practices. One of these is
'unmittelbare Übernahme fremder Leistungen', which covers copying.

The translation suggestion I got from an out-of-print book, Business Law Guide to Germany, by Strobl, Killius & Vorbrugg.
