Publisher's Synopsis
"Imagination" is a fascinating chronicle of Australian innovation of the last hundred years. From Australian legends such as the stump jump plough and the Victa lawnmower, through to our significant contribution to medical technologies including ultrasound imaging and the Cochlear implant, within its pages is a vast catalogue of achievement. This book has been produced to commemorate IP Australia's centenary from 1904 to 2004, as the federal government agency administering patents, trade marks and designs legislation and systems. The people, stories and bright ideas contained within are a testament to the inventive spirit of Australians, and celebrate all that has been achieved over the last 100 years.
