 Daniel K. Wedding II is an average 10-year-old kid that has a patent for a boomerang toy from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
According to Taledoblade.com, Daniel submitted a patent for a boomerang toy to the USPTO and six months later, he was granted the patent.
The boomerang prototype, made of polycarbonate plastic, is not ready to fly yet,
said Daniel. Design changes are necessary. Daniel said,
I just came up with it. I thought of it to defend people if robbers came in at night. His grandfather Donald K. Wedding, said
He would always call me and say, 'I want to do patent work'. The most important thing for me was getting him in a creative process. Daniel joins a list of family members who have patents. In total, the family has
over 100, said his grandfather.
Not to take anything away from how amazing this family is, I would really like to see the specifics and claims of this patent. I wonder what the 'invention' is in this patent or its closest prior art.
However, as I always say, the family that files patent applications together, stays together.
