As Todd pointed out, this appears to be an undecided 
issue.  But again, we are wrangling over words that 
have by dint of community norms, become increasingly 
obscure.   As far as I am concerned, what is legal 
is not necessarily right regardless of the payoff 
but that is certainly only one opinion.  

So get patents like fire extinguishers:  until your 
house is on fire, they are ugly wall ornaments.

If there is no protection, it is not IP = intellectual property.
"No right without a remedy."  Short of patent protection, ideas/concepts
are not IP.
