Re: How to patent
Filing a provisional patent application is what you would want to initially do here. A provisional patent gives your idea/invention a priority filing date with the U.S. Patent Office, and allows you to be "patent pending" for a full year. This means that you are able to discuss your invention with others, evaluate its commercial potential and seek funding, all while fully protected.
