Dyson advert

The one case I can think of where patent law protected an innovative inventor who was being copied by larger rivals is Dyson.

They currently have an advert campaign showing an exploded view Dyson with parts that could be copied (hardly any) without infringing patents.

But now of course, Dyson is the big company having being extremely successful. At what point do they become the incumbent over protecting their IP investment and stopping a more nimbler business from prospering?
