Moving the innards of an old clock into a different box? That's an invention?
When I was a kid, I mounted the contents of a battery-powered radio inside a clear plastic case. I hooked up a solar cell for power and drilled a bunch of holes so the speaker could be heard.
The thing looked nice and it worked when placed in sunlight.
Does that mean I invented a radio?
No, it means you invented sunlight. Algore owes you $10 million dollars.
