a site dedicated to helping people patent their ideas

About Us


Our site

PatentMyIdea offers expert advice on design, patents, copyrighting, license agreements and more. We hope to cover everything the UK inventor needs to know to take their idea to market.

We think inventors are best off spending as much time as possible doing what they do best - being creative. Unfortunately, however, there are a lot of other aspects that require attention. As well as being an inventor, they must be an intellectual property expert, a product designer, an electronics expert, a materials specialist, a business strategy planner and a marketing genius.

This site aims to cover all bases by providing inventors with information on many of the potential hurdles and providing useful contacts, leaving the inventor to simply invent.

Our website brings together experts and experienced inventors to provide high quality information of direct relevance to inventors in the UK. For further information, please email us:  info@patentmyidea.org

Mark Sheahan

Having devised two highly successful types of packaging and an ethical rat trap, Mark is something of an expert in the field of inventing! Named UK Inventor of the Year 2003, Mark is familiar with all areas of the inventing process, from intellectual property to manufacturing.  As a result, he has been named the British Library’s Inventor in Residence, running advice sessions for inventors to help them get their ideas from the drawing board to the market.



Our Partners

To get our website up and running with high quality content, we have partnered with Innovate Product Design, the UK’s leading invention development company. This has allowed us unparalleled access to experts in intellectual property, design development, prototyping, licensing and more. Before choosing to partner with Innovate, we researched their credibility extensively by talking to previous clients, the British Library, Ideas 21 and Business Link. We were pleased to hear some great positive feedback, and as a result are proud to recommend them.
