While a patent or copyright is held by a company or a person, no one else can use that product or copyrighted material (also known as intellectual property) without the permission of the patent/copyright holder which usually involves some kind of compensation.

New products and materials are developed all the time to compete with an existing patent or copyright.

Are patent drawings public domain?
No, they're not "public domain" until the copyright of the author expires. Just because they were sent to the patent office and issued as a patent does not changed the copyright ownership or duration. However, an author of a patent application has, by statute, granted a limited right to others to reproduce the patent. Most of the rules in the US Patent Office regarding copyright notice have not been subject to comprehensive update since the 1988 laws were changed to repeal the need to have a proper copyright notice on a publication in the USA if it was to have copyright protection. Copyright of any creative work of authorship is now free, instantaneous and automatic, whether or not the copyright owner knows it or wants to enforce it, without requiring any copyright notice, nor any registration.
