| Child as Inventor You can have the parent or legal guardian sign on the child's behalf. The application is then made in the name of that parent or legal guardian. However, the child would be listed as the inventor, naturally.
P.S. I have relevant provisions from the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure and the CFR if you wish to e-mail me off the list. My e-mail address is linked to my profile.
