Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Rent a man a fishing rod, and you make him a slave to you forever.

That man can sell excess fish and buy his own rod.

That's why we patent the rod.

This is pretty common. Many jet engines (on airplanes) are sold as a service nowadays. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/a/12530
