That's so short sighted... If companies R&D is free game for competition, they will be more reluctant to innovate

Why would they be more reluctant to innovate? Couldn't it also be the opposite? For example, companies could spend more on R&D to stay ahead of the competition and lead the field instead of releasing copies of a product months or years later.

How can a company lead the field if their R&D is free for the competition to take?
