Disabling a rival company:
1> Such as beating them to the patent office (ala Alexander Graham Bell?)
2> Orgainizing a corporate buyout of a company that has a new product that will out-do your product
etc,etc...

Such things are legal and (usually) ethical.

Most sports have defense. Defense creates a challange that may not have been accounted for in the design process, and thus requires strategy to overcome. Good teams overcome defense or account for it in their design process.
