This appears to have been due to the fact that Yagi based his work on Uda's pre-announcement[5] and developed the principle of the absorption phenomenon Yagi had announced earlier.[8] Yagi filed a patent application in Japan on the new idea, without Uda's name in it, and later transferred the patent to the Marconi Company in the UK.[9] Incidentally, in the US, the patent was transferred to RCA Corporation.[10] Ah, the intrigues....Like that blue LED guy. That was so sad!!! :( I felt super angry about that at the time.
