Abstract
The US Department of Health and Social Security's Public Health Service (PHS) ruled in 2005 that "Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit." Despite this, its Office of Research Integrity (ORI) risks giving the wrong impression that plagiarists have enduring conjugal rights to former collaborators' ideas.
