Tim Lee digs into the history of the Bell patents, and concludes:
Now, the standard policy argument for patents is that without them, inventors would lack a suitable incentive to invent new technologies. I think this story is at odds with that theory in a couple of important ways. In the first place, it seems exceedingly unlike that, had Bell not invented his telephone in 1876, no other inventors would have been invented in the subsequent 18 years. To the contrary, there was a veritable explosion of interest in telephone technology during this period, at least some of it totally independent of Bell’s work. I don’t think it’s at all crazy to surmise that in a world without a patent system there would have been more telephones in operation in 1894 even if Bell had been deterred from inventing the telephone by the lack of opportunity for a patent monopoly.
