Probably patent law, unless it’s a black-box reverse engineering, in which case you can’t use a disassembler to peek at how it works

Copyright law is what you're after.

Patent law doesn't care about how you get to the same thing - independent invention does not work as a defense.

IANAL, I'm a random on HN, if you take this as legal advice I don't know what to tell you :D
