Before Walkman, there was Stereobelt

After more than 25 years of court battles with Sony, Andreas Pavel has finally claimed the title as the inventor of what we all know as the “walkman.” Coming up with the concept in the late 1960s, he didn’t file for a patent until 1977. Sony began selling their Walkman in 1979 and began negotiating with Pavel in 1980. Pavel lost several legal battles, but never gave up and in 2003 eventually settled with the big Japanese company. Although the results of this deal were protected by a confidentiality clause, it’s been rumored that he received an eight figure sum plus royalties on Walkman sales.

Read the entire article from NY Times reporter Larry Rohter right here or here. There’s a wiki page on Mr. Pavel as well.
