Correct, @user! Also keep in mind, having a patent does not always prevent others from creating a similar device, it just gives you the right to enforce your patent rights if someone infringes.

To add to that, it's worth mentioning that the patent procedure can be lengthy and relatively costly. You'll need to carry out a full patent search to be sure your idea isn't previously in use or patented.

Thanks a lot for all the advice! This data helps me greatly. I should probably speak to a patent lawyer soon :d

That sounds like a intelligent determination @user, they'll furnish detailed analysis and advise you accordingly. Best of luck!
