    So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone? I suppose the delineation isn’t necessarily so clear.

      For the telephone, certainly. And for a host of other radio-based technology. You should probably include Michael Faraday and James Maxwell.

      But Kupriyanovich holds the patent on wireless telephones, specifically.
