Erdos2 makes some good, interesting, points but I wonder how often that section on a grant form asking if the research results will be transferred to a corporation is used? How easy would it be to get this through peer review? I suspect that under current funding conditions, very difficult unless the company was supplying serious cash and unique expertise. If I was sat on a review panel and saw a proposal saying that "This work will be great but we will not publish it and everything will belong to company X", my response would be "Why isn't X paying for everything then?". Actually my response would be quicker and firmer, but you get the drift.
