Lonnie’s Super Soaker: The war between toymakers is one that has been witnessed across the centuries. Well this time Lonnie Johnson was the huge gainer when Hasbro paid his $73 million over a period of 5 years.

Hasbro breeched the terms of rights to sell the product that led to the ordeal for them to pay Johnson. Lonnie Johnson has over 80 patents under his name and has a net worth of $360 million. The super soaker toy has reached over $1 billion in sales since its creation.

Valve Technology:  The valve technology allows liquid products to be stored upside down which is being used across the globe. This technology was the invention of Paul Brown, who spent all his life savings and borrowed money from family and friends to perfect it.

He earned $13 million by licensing it out to other companies to use it. As of now, he has sold his company but could have made a lot more money if he had struck a deal for a percentage from every product sold.

Zimmer’s Violation:  The American medical technologies makers Zimmer was fined a whooping $228 million which was to be paid to Stryker, for violating copyrights over the medical system Pulsavac Plus. This violation was originally worth $70 million but was later tripled since Zimmer was found to have “willful infringement”.
