8-Year-Old Receives Patent

Posted by samzenpus on from the young-inventor-society dept.

Knile writes "While not the youngest patent recipient ever (that would be a four year old in Texas), Bryce Gunderman has received a patent at age 8 for a space-saver that combines an outlet cover plate with a shelf. From the article: '"I thought how I was going to make a lot of money," Bryce said about what raced through his brain when he received the patent.'"

    An eight year old, on the other hand, thinks about the cool hockey equipment and tickets he could get with even a modest sum. To an eight year old, hundreds of dollars is a lot of money, and the tens of thousands that you pass off as no big deal is a fortune.
