Heinlein and Patents

So, im reading Expanded Universe (collection of short stories) by Heinlein and he mentions that when someone tried to patent a "waterbed" they couldnt do it because he had written about it, and it was in public domain.

Hell, science fiction has been writing around internet file transmissions forever :-)

I found it funny.
