To invent is to come up with something 100% original. To discover is to find something that was already there.

To invent something means that there was never anything like this before.
To discover something means that it was always there,but it was just waiting to be found.

You discover things that already exist. You invent things that don't exist yet. I discovered a new species of mouse, so I invented a new kind of mouse trap.

Press coverage... For example Bill Gates discovered the guy who invented the concept of Microsoft... He bought the guy's invention from him, Bill Gates is now one of the wealthiest people alive and the other guy is history...

Invent means to create or make something new, that did not exist before, like the telephone.
Discover means to find, recognize, or realize something that already exists, like a new continent.

THEY ARE ALL WRONG...
Newton discovered gravity, but it wasn't always there...before he worked out what it was EVERYONE FLOATED ALL DAY...where do you think the dinosaurs went, floated into space, that's where...
Inventing is when you create something physical like toilet paper or large jackets with the pockets cut out for 'easy access'
