You believe a corporations property belongs to the public? I don't. That patent was available to anyone with the know how to develop it.

If Chevron has a patent on an electric battery that will obsolete oil I think they would run with the idea as it would be very profitable. Their aim is making money not saving oil.

I have never said that corporate property should be public. I was making the point that the profit motive doesn't always deliver the best possible solution.
