Without any patern on the idea, on what the programming does, a program doing the same thing can be done.
On the intellectual property theft, the new program should be as much as different as the other one. Different name, different functions, different var, different language, etc. This is to avoid any possible mismatch between the 2 programs. As long as you don't take the code but rewrite it you should be fine.
Talking to a lawyer is mandatory in this case.
