If a man invents a better mousetrap, then it's said ' the world will make a beaten path to his door ' - or will it?
In this series on the personalities of modern innovators, Bill Breckon has heard of their struggles for success and recognition. whether they invent alone or lead a research and development team. Today he asks what lessons can be learnt from their experiences, and whether Britain really cares about those who come up with better mousetraps.
