Hi. I've come up with a pretty unique business idea... i've told a few people i trust, family and close friends, and they think it's a really great idea, so, i'd really like to make a go of it.
The thing is, i'm currently half way through a world trip... i've been able to do research online, and am 99% sure that there's nothing like this on the market.
I've a friend back home who wants to go in on this with me, and she's already started the ball rolling and is waiting to hear back from enterprise ireland.
the thing is, i'd like to patent this.... can someone please answer the following...
1.) do i need to be back in ireland to do this?
2.) i've been reading on here that they're expensive... how expensive?
3.) can you patent an idea, or do you need a working prototype.
4,) what are the different types, ireland, europe... the world?
thanks, i don't have too much business acumen
