Hi jim kelley; Actually, the light bulb was a beautiful example of the patent system in use.

Great effort was expended trying thousands of different substances, over a long time before one was found that worked. If the patent system hadn't been available, other companies could have avoided the high costs of all that testing. The same applies to drugs.
