Not really, though you can luck out. Edison held the lightbulb patent but
is he the manufacturer? Tens of thousands of patents are issued to
individuals who then license others to do the manufacturing, or even to
companies that will license the patent to other companies.

Not to mention that the compressor may not even be patented.
