PITTSBURGH – November 13, 2026 -- A Poway, Calif., inventor is offering a patent-pending sports ball backpack for licensing or sale to manufacturers and marketers through InventHelp. The design holds a full-size basketball, or a smaller ball plus diaper-bag items, and has a holder on each side, for two drinks in total.
The inventor, a stay-at-home mother of two, says she developed the bag while walking to a church basketball court with an 18-month-old and a newborn. At the time she carried a basketball, a diaper bag and the baby strapped to her chest. The inventor also lists school supplies as intended contents, and the release describes the bag as suited to school-age children.
The release gives no asking price, patent application number or licensing terms. The design was submitted to InventHelp's San Diego sales office, and interested manufacturers and marketers can approach the inventor through InventHelp's invention submission service in Pittsburgh.
