wyn Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 With patents you have to have the money to defend them in court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wb123 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I went down this route with two projects. Didn’t have the money to go alone so ended up tying in with a university department, it all went to non disclosure, apparently got bought by one of the companies who the result would have been competing with, and I never saw a direct penny. It it was a lot of work, but seems to be a dynamite section on the CV that very few other people have, and whilst I didn’t benefit directly from it I suspect it has been influential in opportunities that have arisen since. The best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I used Serjeant's for my stuff wayback in 1982. They were not cheap but with inventions if you tell anybody then you can't subsequently protect it. The story of Sir Alec Jeffries and DNA and how him having caught a cold so being unable to deliver a lecture is worth looking at. https://serjeants.co.uk/ Edited March 16, 2020 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
