CONTROVERSIAL INVENTIONS |
| Not
all inventions are created equal. Some were improvements on the
original invention. Some were invented at about the same time in
different parts of the world. Some ideas were stolen. Some inventors
had the better public relations firm. Some were so controversial
that only a court system could resolve. It also appears that the
more valuable the invention, the greater the controversy. |
