Comments:
: : I have developed a new algorithm and package for computational fluid : : dynamics. There is already a company which sells : : similar, but less eficient, code to the car and : : aerospace industry. : : I thought, I might get a patent and sell it to them, because : : I don't want to create my own company. : : How do I start and how can I make money with my idea? : Algorithms are not patentable. Methods employing the algorithm may be patentable. If your METHOD has an advantage over what has been done before you may be able to licence or assign your rights for a profit. : The concepts in the code can be indpendently recreated if there is no patent. Your code may well be saleable. : Your homework is in a "Reality Check" before you count your profits or realize the risks. : M.
