Doubtful. The inteligent Grimm are the old ones, which according to Oobleck, at least most of them stay away from the kingdoms and civilization. And I doubt one, like say a Goliath or Creeper or adult Nevermore, would simply go to a kingdom, sit down and watch people make something and learn how to make it just like that.

I also doubt everyone would just let them sit there and watch without at least alerting someone. And considering they get bigger as they get older, and how they stand out like a black spot on a white curtain, I doubt they could be sneaky enough to hide effectively long enough.

The ones that tend to stay close to the kingdom, and get close to people on purpose, are the younger ones that lack the inteligence to understand what they would see, or even to anything other than rush at them and attack.

And then, there's the question of whether they would be inteligent enough to actually put any knowledge they gain, regarding people and how they make stuff, to actual use. And I doubt they would know how to read a book either.
