With so much value on the line, it is no secret that it becomes a human tendency to want recognition for ideas.
Unfortunately, it is not often the original idea creator that gets the credit and history has given many examples of that. For instance, although Alexander Graham Bell did bring the telephone to life, it was Antonio Meucci who created the first voice-communication device in 1871. The difference between the two is Antonio, unlike Alexander, didn't pay the entirety of the amount needed to register the patent for his idea.

In a more recent example, Meta (former Facebook), a platform that has arisen as the largest social network on the planet today, became part of a major lawsuit when the Winklevoss twins filed a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg for a stolen idea.
