Who is the inventor of electric lighting?
EdisonActually, it wasn't invented by Edison, he was only credited for it, but other uncredited inventers were working on it as well.Actually, Edison did invent a light bulb that worked well; so did the Scotsman Joseph Swan. The two had worked independently, and neither knew of the other's existence. Edison filed for a patent, only to discover that Swan had filed six days before him. Priority is one of the unbreakable rules in patent law, so Swan got the patent and the official credit.Edison sulked a little, then sued a lot, and it dragged on for years. Eventually the two agreed to pool their resources, and formed a new company called Ediswan to make and sell millions of light bulbs.
Who created the light bulb first Thomas Edison or Joseph Swan?
It is not at all unusual for two or more people to be working on the same problem at the same time, and coming up with similar ideas almost simultaneously, without any contact between the two. This is the case with these two men and a practical, economically useful, incandescent bulb. Joseph Swan made an incandescent light bulb before Edison did so, but Edison's team came up with their ideas without any help from Swan's work. Swan thus had the patent in Great Britain; Edision in the USA. Rather than fight out who held the patents around the world, the two simply agree to join their patents as one.
