Watch how one humble professor invented the intermittent wiper alone! But unfortunately this wasn't enough. He also had to fight with a mighty corporation in the court of law to reclaim his invention as Ford Motor Company shamelessly stole his invention!
But the humble professor did not give up and had the courage to fight the mighty Ford Motor Company in the court of law, all by himself because no lawyer would take up his case against Ford. He wasn't just an inventor anymore but he now was a law student as well! What happened next was astonishing, in spite of all the manipulative techniques and money used by the Ford Motor Lawyers, Prof.Kearns won the lawsuit against Ford Motors. Ford Had to pay 10 million dollars to the professor.
Even today there is a big car company which is yet again stealing the intermittent wiper yet again. But this time they are not stealing it from just one man but from millions of people. They are compromising safety and convenience of millions of consumers just to save a few pennies.
