The Polaroid patents and the Xerox patents are the only cases of really fundamental critical patents that I can recall that have held enough to insure a monopoly in recent years. Can anybody think of many others? This indicates that dominance or monopoly by patent protection alone in a big industry is probably fairly rare.
