Imagine: You pull out your phone to record police misconduct—suddenly, your camera just doesn't work. Turns out, your phone's camera has been disabled by an infrared emitter.
Imagine: Samsung wants to add this misfeature to their phones, but cannot, because Apple won't let them use their (Apple's) patent, even though Apple has no intention of using it themselves.

I just wanted to point out the 2 contrasting reasons for patenting an invention: to give the patent holder exclusive rights to use, or sell, the technology … or to prevent others from doing the same.
