Hey! Would any of you ever buy this product?!?

My mother and grandmother came up with this "invention" called a pocket bra. It's supposed to be a bra with a pocket on it to hold your money (I guess so people can't steal it) (⌒-⌒; ) I don't think it's a good idea, but they insist that people will actually buy it. I mean won't it look weird? Anyways tell me what you think.

    Lucky Lexi:

    Well.. Funny you should ask... Here is a patent on something similar...

    http://www.google.com/patents?id=44bIAAAAEBAJ&pg=P...

    If your mother and grandmother have a BETTER idea, and you think it would sell... Seems like a popular item if you google "Pocket Bra" then they better get busy and protect their invention!

    To see if it is even WORTH their time take a look here...

    Do you know about the Provisional Patent Application? It only costs $125 and was designed by Congress to give individual inventors a chance at bringing their inventive ideas to market easily. It is SUPER EASY to do..

    To see the top 10 reasons to file a Provisional Patent Application please watch the second video in this blog.

    http://www.filepatentapplications.com/blog/

    If a provisional patent application looks like the right thing for you to do then take a look at another website that shows EXACTLY how to file one using a video format.

    http://provisionalpatentvideo.com/

    If you need to know how to get your product sold on TV or to Costco, or Home Depot, or Target and the like then you might also enjoy reading this information by the Ginsu Knife guy! It is pretty cool. He gives you all his contacts and personal email!

    http://bit.ly/GinsuKnifeGuy

    Of course you could ALSO just go to the US Patent Office and figure out how to file a patent yourself. Here is the link..

    http://www.uspto.gov/patents/process/index.jsp

    The flow chart there is pretty nice to give you an idea how to do what you want to do!

    Their patent search is hard to use and you need special programs to look at the patents… Instead, consider using Google Patent Search!

    Here is how you can use Google Patent Search to search for an "Oscillating inertial microbalance"

    http://www.google.com/patents?id=M5GRAAAAEBAJ&pg=P...

    Just type the term you want to search for in the search box. Play with MANY variants of your inventive idea.

    Also, for a more global patent search look here:

    http://worldwide.espacenet.com/advancedSearch?loca...

    Remember... Patents are MOSTLY "Improvements" on other inventions.. So, while you may see something SIMILAR to your inventive idea it does not mean that you cannot patent your IMPROVEMENT.. Example... A tire is an IMPROVEMENT on a wagon wheel. A radial biased ply tire is an IMPROVEMENT on a non radial biased tire. There are over 10,000 patents on tires... Nearly every single one is an improvement!

    And… a special gift for you is a sample Non Disclosure (also called an NDA) that you would have folks sign when you show them your inventive idea. You can change it up and use others but if you have NOTHING now it is a very good start written by my lawyer who charged me a TON for it!

    http://www.4lowprice.info/images/NDA_GeneralMutual...

    For EXTRA credit take a look at getting a free website widget here. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING. Just use the FREE widget thing..

    http://cbproads.com/refer.asp?id=50245 It will allow you to put adverts to eBooks on nearly ANY subject. If you had a store that sells horse blankets then you would include a widget that featured an eBook on how to stop horses from biting! You get 50% of whatever book folks buy. Pretty nice!

    If you like my answer can you vote on it? I ask you this because there are lawyers who read my posts and HATE them because my telling you how to do this WITHOUT their help... HOWEVER... many of them realize what I have to teach actually HELPS them do their job a bit easier because YOU are more educated if you choose to hire an attorney! Therefore it is important to LIKE the answer if it is helpful to YOU.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    The truth is that, a bra with a pocket sounds really stupid. I know that I sound rude but its the truth.

    Well, my mom always stuffs her debit card in her bra strap, and I always worry it'll fall out. So, if you could make a card sized pocket that isn't uncomfortable or bulky and would keep cards/cash secure, I'm sure it'd sell.

    i think that wouldnt sell very well (no offence) it would look weird if you reached inside your shirt at the store and pulled out money. also if you were wearing a tighter shirt then it could make a weird imprint. doesnt sound like the best idea but tell them to keep it up!

    No, I've never offered to buy them, but I've suggested that a couple of different people needed to use them... There's nothing more disgusting than to have to work with someone who reeks of their own body odor...

    If it was easy to get stuff out of without having to rummage around under your top then it would sell. Esp if you could wear it out to clubs etc when you didn't want to carry a bag.

    its pretty much the same thing as putting money if ur bra :/

    i wouldnt buy it

  • 9 years ago

    It sounds a little uncomfortable and it would also bulge if you have a lot of change in it. I know I wouldn't.

  • 9 years ago

    hey wonderful idea. not only could you put money in it you could put something like lots of paper or something so you could protect yourself if someone tries to shout u
