Alexander Graham Bell faced numerous legal challenges throughout his career, particularly concerning the invention of the telephone. After he patented his invention in 1876, Bell found himself embroiled in over 550 lawsuits asserting that others had invented the telephone prior to him. These claims prompted lengthy court battles, some of which made their way to the Supreme Court.

His vehement pursuit of justice in these cases highlighted both his innovative spirit and determination to protect his life's work.
