Wasn’t the hamburger invented in the US? There they had Frikadellen, which are arguably much better.

As far as the story goes, the meat-in-a-bun concept was taken by sailors from Hamburg to the USA, where it was tweaked for local preferences and then called a hamburger. So the Germans invented it, USA marketed it.

So they

  1. Applied previous knowledge
  2. Created something observed to be new
  3. Named it

And that doesn’t count? What’s the definition of inventing something? If I create a new flavor of bread, does it not count because flour was already invented?

When you go back further it was the romans that brought that concept to Germany. Romans invented it, Germany tweaked it, and USA went further with it.
