There's a similar Toyota story, where the blueprints for a model of their automatic loom was stolen.
Toyoda was not shaken in the least by that, because in his view, the important information were all the failed attempts that lead to the design, and those weren't in the blueprints. "By the time they've taken their copy of that model to the market, we'll have innovated past that, and they won't be able to keep up because they haven't learned from our mistakes."
