Thomas E. Murray
he invented the electric light bulb What DIDN'T he invent? He received 1093 patents.
I believe the final count was 1093 patents issued to Tom.
Thomas Alva Edison was granted 1,093 patents
1093 US patents were granted to Thomas Edison in his lifetime, as well as several hundred patents in the UK, France, and Germany. Many of them, such as the "light bulb" were ruled invalid in a federal court, due to Edison's having stolen and copied materials from others and claimed it as his own. Second alteration. Using the term of "stolen" regarding patent disputes maybe not that accurate.

No, Thomas Edison did not invent the pen. The patent for the first fountain pen was actually granted to Petrache Poenaru in 1827. Although Edison was a prolific inventor known for developing the phonograph and the incandescent light bulb, he did not create the pen.

No Thomas Edison didn't invent the umbrella, but he did invent the phonograph and the light-bulb. :D
