8-Year-Old Receives Patent

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday November 30, 2010 @03:54AM 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.'"

These things have been available for years.
When has that ever stopped a patent?
