Britain, the United States and Japan, 1974 to 2002. James Dyson builds a vacuum cleaner that needs no bag and then spends a decade trying to sell the design to an industry that earns more from the bags than from the machines. The patent he filed is assigned to a company that removes him. An American distributor takes a license and then launches a machine of its own. A Japanese firm sells his cleaner at a price no British buyer would pay. When every licensee has failed or sued, he borrows against his house, builds the tooling, and becomes the manufacturer he never meant to be. The industry that would not buy the design copied it, and he sued, and won. Covers James Dyson, Dyson, Ballbarrow, Hoover, Electrolux, Hotpoint, Goblin, Black & Decker, Amway, and Apex.
