Some advice please.
A while ago a friend/ colleague , Jim, asked me to solve a problem. I came up with an idea and, between us, bashed out a product ptototype .
Now Jim's found a potential buyer (in US) who wants to purchase outright and apply for a patent.
All fine by me, but the I'm not sure if I'm happy about a patent in anyone but in Jim's and my name (not money, pure vanity ;-))
So, do we apply for Uk provisional patent ? cost? any recommendations for patent author?
