Detailed explanation-1: -On January 27, 1880, Thomas Edison received U.S. Patent No. 223, 898, which was simply titled “Electric Lamp.” Figure 1 from U.S. Patent 223, 898.
Detailed explanation-2: -Citation: Thomas Edison’s patent drawing and application for an improvement in electric lamps, patented January 27, 1880; Records of the Patent and Trademark Office; Record Group 241; National Archives.
Detailed explanation-3: -His first invention to receive a patent was the electric vote recorder, in June 1869. Daunted by politicians’ reluctance to use the machine, he decided that in the future he would not waste time inventing things that no one wanted. Edison moved to New York City in the middle of 1869.

Detailed explanation-5: -On this day, January 6th, in 1931, just two days before his death Edison executed his last patent application. True to form for a man who spent his whole life working with electricity, the patent was for a component of an electroplating process.
