Suits is unironically the dumbest lawyer show out there.
1) New technology invented.
2) A guy forgets to patent it
3) technology stolen and 2nd company patents it
4) 2nd company is ready to release product.
5) Company 1 gets the payent by threatening company 2 with....... uploading the blueprints to 4chan.
Ok.... Not only would that NOT STOP company 2 from manufacturing and selling the technology, but it would also give company 2 the ultimate reason to sue company 1 into obligation...
Makes sense 
@LukeAlmighty @dave What would work better is a free open source patent system
with the blue prints, design and notes referring back to original group that created/invented it
No 'rights'
No license
No fee
No royalties
Free for everyone to copy
but with the clause that X person or X group of people created it
and no one else can claim they came up with it

The problem is, you cannot open source what was patented by someone else. That is the entire core of the issue.
