...CRIMSON also alleges that a patent in the public domain will be profitless. This is a half-truth, and very misleading. There are two stages in the economic progress of an invention. To say that a firm will not produce the invention profitably without a patent is absurd, it is the equivalent of saying that Grand Union will never build another store because A. & P. will build one across the street. It is likely that a patent in the public domain will speed up the time lag between invention and widespread use, by rewarding the firm that produces the product...

...course, there may be no profits to begin with. Once the discovery is in government hands, it may be the last anyone hears of it. All government-owned patents are in the public domain; any firm can use them. How many companies are going to spend their own time and money developing an invention when they know other companies can jump into the market at any time...
