In the movie Twister, Bill specifically accuses Jonas of \'stealing his design\' (for Dorothy), to which Jonas replies that the design was \'unrealized\'. (Jonas also renamed his gadget.) This definitely puts the whole \'realizing\' into a grey area, but there is the point that apparently Bill never took a patent out on it (stupid) or apparently explored it much further. It was others, both on Jonas\' team, and on Bill\'s old team, who developed the idea into something workable. At that point, the rights to the idea of Dorothy will go to whoever gets it to work. (I was curious about who \'\'did\'\' have the rights to Dorothy, and researched it. US Patent law has the applicable legalities.)
