This quote hangs on my wall with an original Marconi stock certificate. It was a court ruling so I'm not sure how it could be argued otherwise In October of 1942, the United States Supreme Court entered into The Great Radio Controversy. Though the invention of radio had long been attributed to Guglielmo Marconi, the Supreme Court justices were intrigued by patent records and scientific publications which pointed to Nikola Tesla as radio’s true creator. In June of 1943, the Court decided that Nikola Tesla had, in fact, invented modern radio technology. Ruling that Marconi’s patents were invalid and had been “anticipated.” Tesla was vindicated – though far from victorious. Some five months earlier, alone and destitute in a New York hotel room, the great inventor had died. His papers and notes were seized by the United States Alien Property Office, and are now housed in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade Yugoslavia.
