Le Guin could, under her view copyright, prohibit other authors from using ansibles in their works, or else sue those authors who do reference them.

Her science fiction is great too, and she is undoubtedly an icon of the genre; I love the fact that, forty years after she invented the ansible, other authors still use the devices in their books, even borrowing the same technological constraints that Le Guin used, as if ansibles were somehow a common heritage of all scifi universes.
