Mullica Hill, NJ | Nokia vs Apple, patents a tad broad? reading some of those patents it seems like that are a tad broad and that some cover other non apple devices out there. so either those parties are paying royalties or Apple is just the biggest target since their device competes with Nokia.

Eatonville, WA | Unfortunately that would be Daimler, & Benz.
# 1885 - Gottlieb Daimler invented what is often recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine - with a vertical cylinder, and with gasoline injected through a carburetor (patented in 1887). Daimler first built a two-wheeled vehicle the "Reitwagen" (Riding Carriage) with this engine and a year later built the world's first four-wheeled motor vehicle.
# 1886 - On January 29, Karl Benz received the first patent (DRP No. 37435) for a gas-fueled car.
Neither of these guys built the very first internal combustion engines but they were the first to patent them. |
