this is not true of patents. a patent requires the method to become public knowledge. the patent itself is just the claim to being the 1st and the "owner" of such a method for such a time. after 20 years it becomes general domain except under certain circumstances. having said that i haven´t studied patent law for several years so someone may want to rectify any inaccuracies in what i´ve said
