Review of Flash of Genius (2008) by Joana L — 04 Feb 2010

Robert Kearns the original inventor of the intermittent windshield wipers we have in our cars today, stands up against Corporation giant Ford for stealing his invention. They saw a potential to make money from his invention, brought him in, asked him to leave his invention with them to be tested and approved and he heard from them again.

Not long afterwards, Ford launched their new range of cars which included the "intermittent windshield wipers" he had invented. And this is when the battle began for Robert Kearns who fought to get his dignity and respect back against a Corporate giant who stole it from him.

Definitely reminds of me of the David and Goliath story. This a a reality of corruption in today's business world.
