The record fo r the number of patents for invention , l 093, i ti ll held by one of Ohio 's we ll -known inventor , Thoma Edi on born in Milan , Ohio. In more than half a century, no other inventor has equaled thi number of patents. Al o weU-know11 in Edison ' day was Granville T. Wood , a Co lurnbus nati ve, who, before hi death in 19 IO wa ca lled the greatest African-American inventor of hi time. He had so many di fferent inventions that son1e people ca lled him the " black Edi on. " Woods, however, showed hi di sappro al of this nomenclature, when he tun1ed down Edison's offer of emp loyment. He also ued Edi on twice for patent infringement and won. Ohio i al o home to four of the nation s 68 Patent Depo itory Librarie , the loca l outpo t that receive the patent . These librarie are found in Cinc innati , leveland , Co lumbu and Toledo.
