At the Oxon branch’s Christmas Lecture on 12 December 2002, guest speaker, inventor Trevor Baylis, spoke about the challenges facing inventors in protecting their intellectual property.
In an amusing review of inventions and inventors through the ages Trevor included the story of actress Hedy Lamarr who - following a chance dinner party conversation - patented a torpedo guidance system that was 20 years ahead of its time
