    If it's novel and therefore patentable, there have been discussions about patenting in the past. Not necessarily on this board, however, so have a look on Discussion Time as well, you'll have to search. If you don't find it there, it could have been somewhere else which isn't particularly helpful I know but maybe a wider search will turn it up!

    You should also try and get hold of some materials about innovation and intellectual property rights - Patent Office do a series of handouts and their website is helpful.

    Open University did a booklet called "Build a Better Mousetrap" as support to a course on Innovation and Design a few years ago - well worth reading as it will test you and your thinking - unfortunately not all good ideas are saleable and there is a lot to do before they will even be considered seriously.

    Good Luck
