A champagne cork blinded Robert Kearns in one eye on his wedding night. Years later he built the windshield wiper that blinks - and then spent thirty years, and his marriage, proving the idea was his.

Inventing something is the easy part. Owning it is the war.

Inside are fifteen true stories, spanning three centuries, pulled from the patents, the court records, and the newspapers of the day. A NASA engineer takes Hasbro to arbitration over a water gun and walks away with nearly seventy-three million dollars. Amazon patents a single mouse click and gets to keep it for eighteen years. Three scientists discover insulin and sell the patent for one dollar, on purpose. Eli Whitney invents the machine that remakes the South and can't hold on to it. A company claiming to own podcasting tries to bill every podcaster in America and is dismantled in court. Tim Berners-Lee gives the World Wide Web away. The Supreme Court sides with Tesla over Marconi - five months after Tesla is dead.

No legalese, no lectures. Just the invention, the claim, the fight, the verdict - and the only facts that matter: who invented it, who got paid, who got robbed, and who, in the end, owned it.

Fifteen true stories about the distance between inventing something and getting to keep it.
