Throughout history, “Simultaneous Invention”, also known as “Multiple Discovery”, is quite frequent.
- Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev discovered and published the Periodic Table of Elements barely a year apart. Neither knew of the other’s work.
- Television was invented by five different people around the world within a few years of each other in the 1920s: John Logue Baird, Philo T. Farnsworth, Kenjiro Takayanagi, Charles F. Jenkins, and Vladimir Zworykin.
- Both Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray submitted independent patent applications concerning telephones to the patent office in Washington on February 14, 1876
- Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce both invented the microchip in 1958 and 1959, less than six months apart.
- The Skladanowsky Brothers in Germany and Woodville Latham in the USA invented the film projector around the same time, both being unveiled to the public in 1895.
