The reflecting telescope was invented by Sir Isaac newton in the early 1600s. This was before there was a patent office, and no patent exists on the reflecting telescope as such. The Dobsonian mount is a popular alt azimuth mount for reflecting telescopes, created by John Dobson in the 1960s. He apparently never applied for a patent for this.
