Famous Invention Disputes: Davy vs. Stevenson
2007-11-29 19:10:00
How many times have you watched a commercial for a new toy or a new tool and thought, "That was my idea!"? They say that great minds think alike, so it's no real surprise that simultaneous discovery is very common in the inventing world. Inventors have a knack for recognizing problems and developing solutions, but what happens when two inventors come up with the same solution to the same problem? The answer is, sometimes, a feud.

InventHelp(r) Salutes Jazz Appreciation Month
2007-07-11 00:14:00
If inventing were a style of music, it would be jazz. Jazz , like inventing, is characterized by a trailblazing spirit, creativity and the ability to improvise. In honor of Jazz Appreciation Month, InventHelp(r) shares a brief history of jazz. Part of what makes jazz exciting is that the same piece of music can sound different every time it's played. Unlike classical forms of music, which are supposed to be played exactly as they were written, the goal of jazz is for musicians to improvise. Like many inventors, jazz musicians take what already exists and add their own flair to create a new product that is unique and personal.
