Patents give recognition to the inventor, and limit what someone else can do with the original design. Once a person dies, their invention is no longer covered by patent laws, and this means the device can be modified by anybody who thinks they can improve on the original design.

Mt. Pinatubo, in the 1990s, was large enough its effects were measured around the world.
