OK, person A invented something, patented it, and sits on it for 20 years, unable to find an useful application.

Person B invents the same thing, and immediately sees a way to make it a big hit, with lots of demand. Should person A be blocking person B for 20 years? Why do you think person A should be entitled to that? What do you think would be more beneficial for the society?
