This is an inversion of the constitutional American principle that inventors should have exclusive rights to their useful inventions only for limited times. After that, anyone can use those inventions. That's why patents expire. A patent insures an inventor's exclusive rights. But, to get a patent, the inventor has to completely explain how to duplicate the invention, and the patent is a public document.
