Someone just posted a 1999 picture of Jeff Bezos in his early Amazon office which reminded me of the early picture of Apple founder Steve Jobs in his garage.

Innovations can be costly, luckily <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\">GrantWatch<\/a> currently lists 16 Grants available for the budding entrepreneur.

If you don\u2019t know the movie or the storyline, consider this a spoiler\nalert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 50 years in my hometown of Detroit, which at the time\nwas known as the \u201cMotor City\u201d, Robert Kearns made the prototype of \u201ca\nwindshield wiper that paused between each wipe, like a blinking eye\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story is that on his wedding night he opened a bottle of\nchampagne and the cork hit him in the eye, blinding him in that eye, resulting\nin difficulty driving in the rain. Necessity is the mother of invention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He met numerous times with teams of engineers from the Ford Motor Company, showing them his blueprints. And in 1969, the Mercury automobile, which was manufactured by Ford introduced the all-new intermittent windshield wipers. It appeared that Ford stole the invention, although they claimed that the \u201cpatent was invalid\u201d because it was not\u201d sufficiently inventive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robert Kearns didn\u2019t take this too well and sued Ford which led to an almost 30-year long legal battle which concluded with the inventor\u2019s vindication and a multimillion-dollar award. It also led to his nervous breakdown, a decades-long obsession with the trial, and his divorce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The warning to young inventors is to be cognizant of the David vs Goliath loophole of the patent system for individual inventors who take their inventions to large corporations. Before you get excited and go show your invention around ask yourself, &#8220;Is that brand new product idea you came up with patent-pending?&#8221; Apparently, there is a concept in the corporate world known as \u201cefficient infringement.\u201d It is cheaper for companies to force an individual to spend millions of dollars and decades in the courts than to pay the fair price for the invention. That was the movie and let\u2019s hope this is no longer the case. Nevertheless, it is worth considering the possibility and taking all the necessary precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jake Tewel\nholds a master\u2019s degree from YU, is a wine seller, caterer and a million-mile\ntraveler for the past 15 years.
