Mothers of invention

The Times

DO YOU have an idea worthy of a patent? Then send your entry to our Mothers of Invention competition. T2 is giving one reader the chance to have a patent application paid for by The Times.

Just tell us, in no more than two A4 pages, what your invention is, how it works and why it would be useful to parents. (It’s important that you keep your idea secret. All non-winning entries will be kept confidential and will be destroyed by us once the winner is announced.) Entrants must be a mother with a child under 18.

Send your entries to: Mothers of Invention, PO Box 6162, Basildon, Essex, SS14 3GF or mothersofinvention@thetimes.co.uk to arrive by the end of Tuesday March 1. See the Women section of www.timesonline.co.uk for Terms and Conditions.
