Hello people! Happy new month
I have an idea that I want to sell to companies likes banks, telecommunication houses, media houses and so on. Trust me, this idea will fetch money, I mean billions of dollars when enacted. I've shared the idea with my most trusted allies and they highly commended the idea and cant wait to start enjoying the benefits of the idea.
But then, I was sicken by the fear of having these companies, after unveiling and working on the idea, throw me out and don't settle me accordingly all because the idea wasn't patented(protected from copyright)
Why am not considering patenting the idea is because;
*I see people suffering it everyday and a solution is needed quickly. I, sometimes, suffer it and I wish my idea is been used
*The cost for patenting is high(am guessing 50k) and the time frame to be fully patented is long(2yrs)
*Am afraid someone else might have the idea and work on it before am done processing the patenting
So my final conclusion is selling my idea to various companies without patenting it and been left out from the financial gains.
Am throwing this question here because i know i have wonderful and amazing people with great wisdom and thinking.
What do you suggest i do? Am also very open to criticism but also drop ideas for me to take into consideration

If you are looking into making money from your idea better go get a lawyer and get a copyright.

Otherwise, the company's you approach will turn you away as your back is turned they implement your idea and make money.. Remember those company's could afford the best lawyers money can buy to lawyer them out of the situation.


** modified*** talk to a lawyer or the office responsible for that. I know in the U.S they have what they call provisional patent before you get the full one.

So talk to a seasoned intellectual property lawyer.

Be wise!

When u get a Patent registered, the protection granted dates back to the day u applied for the patent. There are 3 classes of intellectual property rights in Nigeria. Copyrights, Trade marks and Designs. Dunno where ur idea wld fall without knowing the idea. Patents however apply to inventions that are new and capable of industrial application under our law. A lot more goes into this sha.
