What is National Telephone Day?
National Telephone Day is observed on April 25th. There are 9.82 billion cell phones around the world. And although some expected the landline to be obsolete by 2020, there are still 931 million landlines around the world.
Obtaining a patent
The correct answer to a trivia question such as "Who invented the telephone?" is the word on the patent. In this case, the entire world knows the answer is Alexander Graham Bell. If his counsel was postponed due to bad weather or poor planning, the answer may have a different name.
Marcellus Bailey, one of Bell's attorneys, rushed into the US Patent Office in Boston on February 14, 1876, to obtain the patent for what would be the telephone.
Elisha Gray filed a patent objection for a similar device later the same day. A cautionary tale is that you will not apply for a patent.
