I have been researching lately, and I am sure it wasn't Eli Whitney. He applied for a 14 year patent and got it. He proposed that for someone to use it, they had to pay 2/5 of their profit in cotton. The farmers were angry at the tax, so they created their own version claiming it was a "new" invention. Eli tried to sue them but couldn't because of a loop-hole in the 1793 patent act. So, i think the farmers benefited the most. For more information go to http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/cotton-gin-patent/ Hope this answers your question.
