Lightbulb moment/business idea

sounds crazy i know, but had a real lightbulb moment lastnight.
any one had one of these, with regards to an idea/invention? if you did, have you followed it up?
and does anyone know, can you patent an idea■■?

won’t reveal it yet, but it could be fitted to every commercial vehicle on the road, save the industry millions, and most importantly, save lives!
i’m going to look into the patent thing first, and go from there. would be lots to do, research etc, but the end result would be well worth it :grimacing:

Read this: businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/ac … SE+STUDIES It will give you some idea of what’s involved. You will have to spend money…:frowning:

thanks santa, i’ll have a butchers.

i have had several ideas i went to a company with one which was specifically for hgv drivers and he said oh it will cost to much firms wont want to spend money on it which i found very strange as it could save fuel thefts so to me the price would be paid for with 1 attempt at a theft :open_mouth:

the other was a sports idea and i aint done nothing with it!

i alos had a imo great business idea but no money and lack of investors out there mean no go…so far!

one thing you can do regarding copywrite is whatever your ‘invention’ is, write it all down in detail etc, then send it to yourself by registered post, and obviously dont open it, then you have got proof of the date of your idea. If someone sees your idea and copys it, you will have the letter of proof it was your idea.
I know i havent explained it very well, but im sure you get the idea.
