Before the discovery of electromagnetic waves and the development of radio communication, there were many wireless telegraph systems proposed and tested. [4] In April 1872 William Henry Ward received U.S. patent 126,356 for a wireless telegraphy system where he theorized that convection currents in the atmosphere could carry signals like a telegraph wire. [5]
This is the initial patent for radio-based wireless telegraphy. 1896: Bose goes to London on a lecture tour and meets Marconi, who was conducting wireless experiments for the British post office. 1897: Marconi establishes a radio station on the Isle of Wight, England.
This "four sevens" patent — so named because Marconi's U.S. patent No. 763,772 was a counterpart to the original filing, British patent No. 7,777 — was also found to be invalid, with the court ruling that it had been anticipated by John Stone Stone's U.S. patent 714,756 as well as those by Lodge and Tesla. The verdict stated that “Marconi ...
Tesla gained the attention of financier J. P. Morgan in November 1900. Morgan was impressed by Guglielmo Marconi's feat of sending reports from the America's Cup yacht races off Long Island back to New York City via radio-based wireless the previous year, and he was dubious about the feasibility and patent priority of Tesla's system.

[77] [33] Tesla sued Marconi's company for patent infringement but didn't have the resources to pursue the action. In 1943 the US Supreme Court invalidated the inductive coupling claims of Marconi's patent [ 78 ] due to the prior patents of Lodge, Tesla, and Stone, but this came long after spark transmitters had become obsolete.
The first practical radio transmitters and receivers invented in 1894–1895 by Guglielmo Marconi used radiotelegraphy. [5] It continued to be the only type of radio transmission during the first few decades of radio, called the "wireless telegraphy era" up until World War I , when the development of amplitude modulation (AM) radiotelephony ...
U.S. patent 390,414 - Dynamo Electric Machine - 1888 October 2 - Related to the patents of Tesla and Charles F. Peck, numbers: US381968 and US382280; Ordinary forms of continuous and alternate current systems may be adapted to Tesla's system, with slight changes to the systems; Effects their forms; Only the best and most practical solutions are ...
As part of worldwide expansion, in 1899 American Marconi was organized as a subsidiary company, holding the rights to use the Marconi patents in the United States and Cuba. [3] In 1912 it took over the assets of the bankrupt United Wireless Telegraph Company , and from that point forward it became the dominant radio communications company in ...
