Edison
Actually, 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.
