Check out this cool fact! Back in 1933, helped design the prototype for the Tatra V570, a sleek, rear-engined, air-cooled car that was both cheap to build and affordable for everyone. Sound familiar? Well, it should because the Volkswagen looked so much like it that in 1965, had to pay a hefty settlement to Tatra. 🚗💡

@JSharp1436 Plagiarism has plagued history across all forms of art and invention. Today, proving ownership is easier, but it wasn't always the case. Countless renowned inventions have been stolen, leaving us to wonder about the full story behind them. #PlagiarismThroughHistory #IntellectualProperty

Are you familiar with Shakespeare's plagiarisms?

He was pretty naughty to say the least. He was vilified during his time for it, and if his fellow writers at that time could see his reputation today, they'd go NUTS!
