Johann Philipp Reis a self-taught German scientist and inventor who in 1860-1 constructed the first working telephones, the design of which is today called the Reis telephone. Bell did give credit to Reis by name in the paper entitled "Researches in Electric Telephony" which he presented at the Academy of Arts and Sciences in May of 1876 and then at the Society of Telegraphic Engineers, November, 1877. Bell also references Reis's work in an article written by Professor Bottger in Dingler's "Polytechnic Journal" 1863. A detailed report about the Reis Phone by Wilhem Von Legat, was communicated to the Austro-German telegraph union in 1862, and then printed in the journal of that society then reprinted in Diglers Polytechnisches Journal for 1863; vol.clxix pg 29. It is also important to note that in Professor Graham Bell's British patent he does not claim to be the inventor, but only to have improved the invention. The exact title of his patent is, "Improvements in Electric Telephony and Telephonic Apparatus. (4). To quote a statement "I find it amusing that Bell is perceived as the man who spent his whole fortune defending his patent on the phone, when in fact what he did do was spend his whole fortune patenting Philip Reis's work!"
