PITTSBURGH – November 10, 2026 -- A Wisconsin inventor has designed a patent-pending computer mouse, called EZ MOUSE, that lets users pick which laptop or computer it communicates with, so one mouse can serve several devices.

One mouse replaces several on the desk and in the bag

The inventor, from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, said, "I thought there should be a way to use the same computer mouse for controlling multiple laptops or computers." EZ MOUSE is built around that idea: a single mouse with a way to select the target device.

The design is meant for people who switch between a business laptop, a personal laptop and a desktop computer. It removes the need to buy a separate mouse for each device. Anyone carrying more than one device, such as a laptop plus a work computer, needs to carry only one mouse, which also lightens the laptop bag.

Pittsburgh – October 06, 2026 -- An inventor from Mt Vernon, N.Y., has designed a new cover for dish drying racks aimed at keeping dishes clean while they dry.

The cover blocks germs, bugs and small fingers from reaching dishes

Called the SANI COVER, the device fits over a standard dish rack and is designed to let air circulate so dishes can still dry properly. At the same time, it creates a barrier that keeps dust, insects and contaminants off clean dishware.

The design also protects children from sharp utensils

According to the inventor, the cover offers a protective barrier between sharp objects such as knives and a child's fingers, addressing a safety concern for households with young kids.

Compact storage sets the design apart

The leash also allows for neat storage when not in use, protecting it from damage between sessions. The invention features a compact, easy-to-use design intended to appeal to surfers looking for a hassle-free accessory.

Pittsburgh – September 18, 2026 -- An inventor from Newport Beach, California, has designed a disposable accessory intended to absorb urine leakage in men immediately after urination, reducing wet spots, stains, and odors.

The design targets light leakage in men 40 and older

The product, called CAPS, is built for comfort while offering what the inventor describes as added protection and peace of mind for men experiencing minor post-urination drips.

"I wanted to create an absorbent accessory to prevent embarrassing urine leaks, stains, and odors for men," the inventor said, adding that the goal was a comfortable design that provides extra reassurance.

The concept was submitted through InventHelp's Orange County office

The original design went through InventHelp's Orange County sales office and is now available for licensing or sale to manufacturers and marketers under the designation Dept. 25-OCC-1851.
