My son has invented a chidrens safety device which he calls ?

Question

"Phonehat" it looks like an ordinary everyday hat but it`s got a little phone in it which connects automatically to the chids home

should they get lost, it works automatically when the chid says

"mummy I`m lost" 3 times, should he patent it or not, what do you think?

Answer 1

Muppet :-)

Answer 2

good idea, but if anythin happens to the phone you both are better off with cell phone with a GPS system built in

Answer 3

Great idea but I don't think its smart to have a phone strapped to your head for a long period of time especially if your a kid.  Its inconclusive whether cell phone radiation increases your chance of developing a tumor but the risk is still there.  You should look at the safety aspects first. In regards to patents it is expensive and I think its not worth it.  If its a real hot seller then give the Chinese 2 weeks and they will be pumping out container loads without paying you a cent.  The idea of patent and copyright doesn't sit well with them. Always research and act on your ideas.  Do nothing get nothing.

Answer 4

thats cool. he should try to make it in the market.

Answer 5

patents are not easy or cheap, it's a good idea but what happens if you lose the hat is there a way to track it? i would say, talk to companies maybe you could work a deal, just make sure you write everything you do down with dates etc...

What a bright kid :)
