First theorized in the 1970's as the fourth basic circuit element, a practical memristor implementation has finally been discovered at HP Labs. If practical manufacturing can be scaled up, memristor technology could become the new standard for computer memory -- memory that combines the speed of DRAM, the persistence of Flash memory, and the bit density of hard drives. In addition, memristors can work as analog as well as digital devices, and hold promise as the basis for building neural networks

And this is wrong how, exactly? The work was done in a corporate research environment, with well-paid people doing the work, with expensive equipment. Should they not protect their investment? If not, why would they do the work?
Any University would have done the same, FWIW. IP is a huge putative revenue source.
