The usual arguement is William Smellie's forceps.
He was a doctor in the 1700s that invented the forceps used to deliver babies, but because if he publicized them anybody else would have copied the idea he kept them secret.
They were independantly rediscovered about a century later - but how many lives were lost in those 100years!
