Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The first telescopes were developed in the Netherlands and are credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar.

Galileo developed improvements on those early refracting telescope designs and Kepler developed improvements on Galileo's design.

What is use of Johannes Kepler's invention telescope?

A telescope is used to magnify things that are far away.That said, I'm not sure who told you that Johannes Kepler invented the telescope. He didn't invent the telescope itself, but he did come up with a new design. Kepler's design uses a convex lens at the eyepiece rather than a concave one. This has several advantages, but a couple of disadvantages, such as the image appearing upside down. This makes it largely useless for terrestrial work, but it's suitable for astronomy, which is what Kepler was interested in anyway.
