It seems to me that plenty of publicly funded research ends up simply pushing ideas which are subsequently developed and patented by companies. Perhaps I misread the situation, but that doesn't seem like it's in our best interests

That's why public funding should be directed at under-funded areas, like "processes and drugs that are not patentable".
