It's difficult to see into the future beyond having a vague sense of "big change will happen." But it seems clear that great strain will be placed on the patent system, and that patent enforcement will potentially fracture to some extent along national boundaries. There is little chance in my mind that entrepreneurs in Russia, India or China will be required to pay patent fees to someone outside of those countries at such a time as LENR becomes widely understood, at least for products sold within those countries. The governments will protect businesses as a matter of national strategic interest. Also, I think you are correct in anticipating the possibility of dystopian consequences flowing from a situation in which the cost of energy goes to zero, although I don't think things necessarily have to go in that direction.
