I dont practice in the area of Intellectual Property, although as an engineer I did study it way back in law school (the late professor Harold R Woodard) and considered its practice. That being said, an "idea" isnt something for which you can be granted any protection, youre going to have to reduce and refine it to a new and useful product or way of doing something with plans, drawing, specificatiosn etc. etc. MY BEST PROFESSIONAL LEGAL ADVICE is to have an initial preliminary consultation with an Attorney who is licensed (our Jurisdiction has seperate detailed requirements and qualifications) and qualified in the highly specialized area of Intellectual Property. Hey I"m NOT saying you couldnt do a patent search yourself because why go to all the work and expense if someone has beat you to the punch IM ONLY SAYING THIS IS A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED AREA OF THE LAW AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT TRAINED PROFESSIONALS, at least for a preliminary discussion. After all if you can come up with a new and useful product or way of doing something you may end up with big bucks so is it worth the risk to trust your brother in law or a neighbor for advice??
Id also advise you NOT to go to one of the places advertised on late night TV concerning "inventions" UNTIL YOU CONSULT WITH A TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL
Best wishes I hope the best for you
