Which invention on American Inventor do you think deserves to win?

The most novel idea, I think, is the carseat. But I'd like to know what happens if a bigger baby is sitting in it.\nIt looked like a bigger baby would hit his head on the sides, if it went into motion. \nI could be wrong, but that's just how it looked when it was being demonstrated. Otherwise. Great idea!\nAfter that, I like the game. Children, today, appear to need all the help they can get with spelling.

I think Bill Gate's WIFE should get the prize.  He was a cheap, money hoarding nerd until he married her.  Never gave a penny to anyone else.  Marriage and kids have made him see there are others in the world besides himself.

Patent it when you do make one, All the Best.

Get your butt on American Inventor so that your ideas can be ridiculed on national television.

I wish I got to watch it. I only saw the first two episodes, I never got chances to see the rest. It was a great idea for a show, wish I saw which invention won!

There was a patent attorney that thought so just before the invention of the airplane. \n\nWhat do you think? Was HE right?

I don't know what to tell you other than what happened to me. I paid $500 for a patent search. The company told me that this was a great idea and nothing else like it was on the market. They could get me a patent and help me present it to people who could make it. I would make X-amount of dollars and would be rich (lol). The patent cost me another $5,000.\nThey did get me a patent. A Design Patent. This patent just covers what the product looks like, not how it works. If you design a telephone with the buttons in a certain place, this is a Design Patent. What makes it work (the guts to it) is a Utility Patent. Someone can come along and change the way that it looks, you're out of luck. \nCheck with BBB and past clients. \nI felt ripped off and that was 14 years ago, I still see their ads on television everyday. Every ones idea is a winner, just watch "American Inventor". Be careful!!

The quote is actually - "Genius is 1% Inspiration and 99% perspiration", and it was quoted by Thomas Alva Edison the most famous American Inventor who, singly or jointly, held a world record 1.093 patents. In addition, he created the world's first industrial research laboratory, 1847-1931.

Necessity is the mother of invention.  I don't remember who said that but it a well known saying. Here is my suggestion.\n\nExamine all your pet peeves.  Surely one of them would lend itself to an invention.

First, accept the idea that if money is made, other people will make most of it. 10% of something is better than 100% of nothing. If you can afford it, make a prototype and talk to a patent attorney. You do not have an invention until one is made. At least make a wood or clay model and write down specifications.
