[luckyman]

i have an idea i truly believe in,,,its been 12 yrs now and i still havent got it patented,,,i have been in touch with a team of inventors about 6 yrs ago who said it was a very good idea,i ,,i just dont have the money to finance the whole thing from start to finish..i have finally after these yrs i am going to apply for a patent...do you know what company or inventors can help me bring this idea to market etc...i didnt have a good education so i am not too clued in about business,,,but ive seen some silly ideas on dragons den and itruly believe in my heart that mine is going to be big....

depends what the idea is. can you describe its function?

The trouble with patents is that you have to defend them at your expense when someone infringes them. You also need a very big pile of money to develop the idea to a commercial product and get it to market.

Maybe you should apply to go on Dragon's Den or something?

I'm sure that if it's a useful invention maybe you could dieguise it so as not to give away the workings behind it and that way no one could copy it.

It would be interesting to know what it does/how it would change our lives if we could use it.

You don't say what it is (and you shouldn't until you have the patent .... if you announce it before you have the patent - it becomes public domain)

If it's good ... either chance your arm with the dragons ... or approach the whatever it is market leader.

you will need something more than a vague idea to prove your point - a prototype or whatever .... If you're not convinced enough to invest in it ..... no one else will be
