Explanation:

Alexander Graham Bell and Antonio Meucci differed in terms of who got credit for the invention of the telephone. Bell was the one who received the first US patent for the electric telephone in 1876, while Meucci, an Italian inventor, did not get the proper recognition during his lifetime. Despite developing a working model of the telephone, Meucci failed to patent his invention due to financial struggles.
