Best Answer

A copyright is for printed materials, so no he didn't hold it for the phone. It would be a patent and most likely since he was working for Motorola they hold it. Companies make an contract/ agreement with employees that what they create or invent while working for them belongs to the company. I imagine this is the case with Cooper.

What device did Dr Martin Cooper invent?

He was the head of the team that invented, the handheld cell phone. Cooper has been quoted as saying (of the first such device) "The battery lifetime was 20 minutes, but that wasn't really a big problem because you couldn't hold that phone up for that long" (it weighed about 2.5 pounds).It's probably worth noting that this was not the first cellular phone; it was just the first one that was "small" enough to be practical as a handheld device (prior to that, they'd been intended for installation in cars).
