Answer
Edison won in the initial court ruling of the case he brought against Tesla because the judge found that Tesla had stolen his idea for the alternating current (AC) electrical system. Edison's lawyers argued that Tesla had used his notes to develop his own AC system, and the judge agreed. Tesla was forced to pay Edison damages and give up his work on AC.
