The motive appears to be misappropriating public wealth, intensions are exhibited by engaging in acts far from those required by patent law, and the fact of either committing or ommitting the act completes three essential elements required to prove crime. These companies are committing a daylight crime, authenticated by national law. Unfortunately there is no provision of punishing the habitual corporate offendors.
