I'm not sure I understand your complaint. They only hold onto the patents for a short time before they become available to the public. It's not like they're holding them for 20+ years. I clicked on 5 random links from the new patent list and they were all less than 10 years old.

Why do they need to hold onto them at all? They were paid for by the public, so why are they kept from the public at all?
