Jon Dudas, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), last week joined officials of the National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) to announce this year’s class of inductees at a press conference. “These individuals represent the triumph of human spirit and serve as inspirations to us all,” Mr. Dudas commented. The seven living inventors include Ruth Benerito for wrinkle-free cotton; Amar Bose for improvements in audio technology; Nick Holonyak, Jr. for the light emitting diode; Erna Hoover for computerized telephone switching; Amos Joel, Jr. for the switching concept for cellular phones; William Murphy, Jr. for a variety of medical devices including the blood bag and disposable medical trays and Kenneth Richardson for the anti-fungal drug, Fluconazole, They, along with nine posthumous inventors, will be formally inducted into the Hall of Fame on May 3 in Akron, Ohio.

Let me laugh.  Bose inducted to the Hall of Fame?  No audiophile will ever buy his stereo.

Bose is a very successful marketing company, selling cheap audio gears for high prices.  And they sue any critique who dares say bad things about their speakers.
