March patent milestones shape tech and industry history

A Massachusetts speech teacher earned a patent for the telephone on March 7, 1876, fueling Alexander Graham Bell’s rise to the Inventors Hall of Fame. On March 14, 1794, Eli Whitney received a Washington-signed patent for the cotton gin, boosting textiles but deepening slavery. Other March patents include Ferdinand von Zeppelin’s balloon improvement and Harry Houdini’s diver’s suit patent from March 1, 1921.
