Edison had a research firm, where he employed researchers/scientists and they were paid a salary, whether their research netted something or not they got paid, but the company had the ownership of the idea. The people employed by him understood what they were signing on to, and may have had misgivings later on but through employment they got the funds, freedom and support to try out stuff. I have no reason to be a fanboy or critic of edison, but wanted to share a counterpoint.

So the inventions were actually registered in the name of the research firm.
