Of course, if they had such a great invention, they don't need a patent to develop and sell it. Duh.

Right, but why would you want to not keep others from reproducing your invention and selling it?

Because if it really worked, you could appeal to the patent office and get the patent reinstated. Nobody ever copies these devices and sells them after a patent rejection because they just don't work.
