Hi, I have a company in London. I have just started working on a new project which I am hoping to sign a contract with one of the software developers in India. Later, I intend to use this as a package to sell to the publishing companies.
I have a concept which would cater specifically to the publishing companies but the idea is yet to be materialized in the form of a sophisticated software. I wanted to get the concept patented before I sign an agreement with any Software developer here.
My questions are:
1. How could I protect the idea/concept before I ask any developer to start working on the software?
2. Since my company is in London will I need to have to have it patented in London too?
3. Once the software is built, does that need to be protected as well?
Thanks
Shahrukh
