Development of Inventions and Creative Ideas. Chapter 4

Abstract

This chapter carries an illustrative approach found most effective in lecturing, tying together a complete picture of the invention, en trepreneuring, business, and legal cycles often involved in innovation – and through the medium of the Bell Telephone Cases. This particular invention was selected because its technology is familiar to all types of reader and because almost everything that could happen did happen to Bell, except that he was saved by a single vote in the Supreme Court from the anonymity experienced by many current inventors.
