Introduction Edison is credited for contributing to various inventions, including  the phonograph , the kinetoscope , the dictaphone , the electric lamp  (in particular the incandescent light bulb ), and the autographic printer . He also greatly improved the telephone by inventing the carbon microphone . Most of these inventions were not completely original but improvements of earlier inventions. However, one of Edison's major innovations was the first industrial research and development  lab, which was built in Menlo Park  and West Orange .
Throughout the 20th century, Edison was the world's most prolific inventor . At the beginning of the century, he held 736 U.S. patents. His final count was 1,093 U.S. patents, including 1084 utility patents  (patents for inventions) and 9 artistic design patents. It was not until June 17, 2003 that he was passed by Japanese  inventor Shunpei Yamazaki . [ 2]   Yamazaki was subsequently passed by Australian  inventor Kia Silverbrook  on February 26, 2008. [ 3]  
American patents First hundred patents The first hundred patents mainly deal with the telegraph system. John Kruesi  was the shop manager beginning in 1872. Kruesi built models, instruments, and apparatus for Edison's work. John Ott  worked with Edison throughout his career. Ott was Edison's main model and instrument maker. Charles Batchelor  was a superintendent for Edison toward the end of this series of patents.
