Bluetooth, although not quite on the same level as i was asking about, still is a decent one to list.

C++ was created by a dane, but was created by an American company in America - techhistorylab.com/complete-history-of-cpp-from-1…

Dvd was a multi-national creation - see history section en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD

Electric clock is over 100 years

Graphene is a cool material with a lot of potential but so far isn’t close to changing the world - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene

Helicopter is a good one. Interestingly it was a step-wise multinational evolution, but which doesn’t seem to include the US. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter

Linux is made by an American as a personal project for himself while he was in Finland for a few years. Definitely not a Finnish creation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Linux

TNT is over 100 years

Wegovy wasn’t created by a Dane, but glp-1 was first discovered by a dane. Discovering it is obviously a crucial first step, but that’s an entirely different thing than turning it into a medication which happened decades later by other people. See history sections en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jens_Juul_Holst and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucagon-like_peptide-1 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaglutide
