That’s nothing. In the 70s a guy designed a carburetor that got 100 mpg. Big oil bought the patent from him and buried it so nobody else could replicate his work.

No disrespect but this statement is flawed on many different levels.

Patents are by definition public documents. You can look up any US patent.

Patents also require an enabling disclosure so that anyone that reads the patent must be able to understand how to practice the invention.

Patents cannot be "buried". Anyone can read the patent and "replicate[d] his work".

One of the key purposes of the patent system is so that other smart people will see the patent and design around the patent claims. Society benefits from better ideas.

At that time, patents had a 17 year term. Even if someone was concerned about getting sued for patent infringement by the new owner of the patent ("Big Oil"), the invention would have been in the public domain by the 1990's at the latest.

I don't believe that this response would be legally justified just for filming you. Do you smash random Ring cameras that you walk past?

Correct. Her harmonies with LB set the foundation for many of their best songs and biggest hits.

Bravo. Well said. Spot on

He created some incredible music from the early 70s through about the mid 80s. But that was 40 years ago.

He has always been a critic favorite. He doesn't need money but he obviously still desperately wants to be relevant and revered by people who write for and read Rolling Stone. Something like this is the best way for him to get attention while still getting praised by the mainstream press.

I haven't seen it but I believe that you are accurately restating what they asserted in the documentary. My comments below are not directed at you but rather at the documentary.

but he soon found out they bought it to keep this technology from getting out.

Patented technology is already "out" because the technology must necessarily be disclosed to the public fully and accurately for a patent to be legally valid.

The only way to use a patent to stop innovation is for the patent owner to sue somebody that is actually making, using or selling the patented subject matter in the marketplace for patent infringement. I guess the patent could have a chilling effect on someone who wants to pursue the technology. But the way that it usually works is that if the patented invention is that lucrative, then the infringer will make a fortune by commercializing the technology and use that $$ as war chest to hire the best lawyers to attack the patent and fight back against the infringement claims.

My point is that patent law is way more nuanced and involved than what movies and TV suggest. And if the idea is lucrative enough you will never keep it off the market with a patent.
