No, stealing ideas is not a criminal offense. However, if someone infringes on intellectual property rights by using, selling, or distributing the stolen ideas, legal action can be pursued through civil court. It is important to protect ideas through patents, copyrights, or trademarks to have legal recourse if they are stolen.
