Inside most companies there is pressure to get a few patents.

At promotion time, people will ask 'if you've been researching $thing for 3 months, why haven't you patented anything yet?'.

That's hilarious. 3 months is far too short of a time to actually invent anything meaningful and get far enough along with it to determine whether it would actually be worth patenting.
