Most of those inventions probably already have patents. They should do a patent search to be sure. There's a super-powered computer at my school used just to search for patents, in case a student comes up with something and thinks he can patent it. There's little doubt his hopes will be shot down. Did you know that it takes $100,000 to file a patent? That doesn't stop a good idea, though.
