Patent protection
How can I get a patent for an idea I'm working on? And I want to protect my idea when it's sent off to be manufactured.
Dear Querier,
Please note that mere idea cannot be patented. One must satisfy the three main criteria for an invention to be patentable i.e. Novelty, Inventive step and Industrial applicability.
If you have a prototype developed from your initial idea, that can be applied for a patent protection. If you do not have the entire idea conceptualized, we will have to resort to other forms of legal protection [such as non-disclosure agreement, provisional patent application and such].
Depending on your progress of the invention, we will be in a better position to advise you. Feel free to revert if you need any further clarification. Good day!
Best regards,
Nevin
