And as mentioned before, patents dont work (unless you happen to have a huge fighting fund)
Mark Sanders, (Strida and iF mode guy) on this: https://vimeo.com/40986270 and https://vimeo.com/126361887 (see Myth 2 - patents protect ~7min)
These videos were also very helpful--and fascinating for me, so thank you. What Mark Sanders says about patents is about what I thought, although he does still advise applying for a patent. Maybe I'm going to skip the patent thing after all. What he strongly recommends is entering design competitions. Since my idea is already in a somewhat presentable form for these, I guess this is what I'm going to do first.
