Its true Alexander Graham Bell owns the patent. However, he stole the invention from Elisha Gray.
Moral of the story? Don't take good inventions to any patent office. Take it straight to the head.
As an aside, for the Simpson cartoon fans, there was an episode where the family went to a museum. You know how some displays have buttons you press and a historian tells you about the display. In this episode there were paintings of Bell next to Gray.
They press the Grey button and the picture becomes animated and says "You stole that"
Then they press the Bell button and it jumps out and shouts "READ THE PATIENT NUMBER BITCH"!
Ok, back to the topic. Just thought that was funny.
