Why don't you play some games and find out for yourself?
lack of creativity in chess and theft of ideas

Naw, I own 1.e4. I have this here certificate...I got it from some guy who also offered me the Golden Gate Bridge, but I didn't have $200.

In science, it's called standing the shoulders of giants. When we, as observers, stand on the shoulders of Carlsen, Anand, Kasparov, etc, then it's easy to look down on the earlier giants like Morphy, Capablanca or even Fischer.
We steal their moves because we realize their greatness. The better you get, the better you know what is worth stealing.
Hey, if you want to win, then you play to win, right????
And we're stealing the English language from the people we learnt it from... and the Roman alphabet from, well, the Romans*!
* Well most of the letters anyway.

I can just see the Patent office getting slammed with patented chess moves requests. Then a person would have to pay a residual payment each time they made that move :) LOL
