It turns out that instead of creating the light bulb Thomas Edison. Bulb was already used 50 years before Edison filed the patent in 1879. And as additional information, the British inventor named Joseph Swan had obtained a patent bulb a year earlier.
Edison continued his pace to get the most benefit from patent bulb, but Edison Swan eventually prosecute under the pretext of copyright infringement and Swan win. As part of the agreement, Edison Swan was forced to accept a partner who eventually became the forerunner of the founding of General Electric.
In 1883, U.S. patent agency decides if patents for Edison light bulb patent possibilities by William Sawyer and said invalid. Not that Edison stole the idea, but said a lot of examples of how many people think the same concept, and at about the same time anyway.
Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) is certainly not a slacker. He has patented copyright 1093, including one film camera. When he died, he holds 34 patents phone, 141 battery, 150 kinds of telegraph and 389 patents for electric light and power. Unlike Leonardo da Vinci who never create what he designs, Edison was not only a great theoretician. He made a proverb: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.". He also said, "There is no rule here. We're just trying to finish the job".
