Aren't patents supposed to expire?

Isn't that the idea, you have a patent for 10-20 years, build your business (which AMD/nVidia did, very successfully) then everyone is free to use it, possibly leading to innovation?

I'm poorly versed in this, so if anyone with more knowledge could share some thoughts, that would be appreciated.
