May 4, 1959 was the date of the first annual Grammy Awards honoring recording artists of 1958. Evidently, Chang submitted the copyright application on behalf of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. Chang made a model of the trophy but it’s not clear he designed it. Bob Graves is credited for casting the first trophies. The word Grammy, related names and graphics were trademarked beginning in 1970.
