Cyrus McCormick received a patent on his 'perfected' mechanical reaper in 1834, but Cyrus himself was not sole originator of the idea. His lifetime of innovations were in large part influenced by prior work of his own father and a number of other contemporary inventors. McCormick's patents were also the subject of a number of patent infringement cases throughout the inventor's lifetime as he tried to claim rights to what he "patented first."
He received another patent on improvements to this machine in 1845, but it was not until the later 1840s that he began achieving more commercial success.
