Legal Question
Can I Patent a Video Game Idea? How?
I have a video game idea that I would like to patent.
Unfortunately, I am completely ignorant on how intellectual property works and I am not even sure ''patent'' is the correct term.
My video game idea is specific, to the point of specific characters, level design, etc. and I want to protect it, because as a game designer, I believe it is very good.
Additionally, I am currently employed at a game company as a game designer, but I have used no game company resources to work on the idea, not even a word processor.
I would sincerely appreciate any help regarding where I should start. I found the US Patent Office site, but lordie there is a lot of stuff there. Thx.
