i have been sitting on an idea for over half a year now wondering how to go about it. i finally organised my thoughts the other day and learnt what i needed to do, but when i did some research someone provisionally patented something almost exactly the same 3 weeks ago!!!!!!!. i came up with the dam idea months before this. if u have an idea, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. it turns out u don’t really have to be that specific to get it protected.
screw all these 3rd party patent sites too, a lot of them charge you lots for doing what you can find out for free.
everything you need to know is on http://www.ipo.gov.uk/
Good luck. succeed where i have failed or sit and kick yourself like me.
