Abstract

Entrepreneurs, Dr Roman Gouzman and Dr Igor Karasin, had developed a system to enable blind people to use a computer to feel representations, including maps and fine art. They called their innovation the Virtual Touch System for the blind, and they applied to the US Patent Office for a patent. The patent was issued in June 1999; however, the commercialisation of an invention was quite complex. Good opportunity for students to discuss commercialisation of an invention.
