It was why patents have a limited life span. After 17 years the idea becomes pubic domain. Anyone can manufacture.
Now, if it's a good patent, the company will make a minor tweak to the design and re-patent it. If not, any competing business will simply be driven out by a variety of methods -- "environmental" regulations among the most popular. They'll have a legal department searching for competition and crushing it with lawfare.
