That is not good, the use of intellectual property without proper documentation can result in some hefty fines for Ford.

Good find on the article

It’s not the first time Ford has screwed over inventors. They stole the design for intermittent wipers from the inventor. There was a movie made about it called Flash Of Genius. He sued Ford and won.

Unfortunately, Cheating to win is still winning

As they say, your mileage may vary--one man's 'cheating loser' is another man's 6-time World Champion, even with the entire league stacked against them. Funny thing though, it's been documented time and again that the Champions are always making sacrifices like volunteering to work extra hours, while the perpetual losers/whiners are always taking shortcuts and phoning it in.

Good movie, sad the guy went all Ahab though to get his white whale.
