I'm reluctant to say what it is. Perhaps it could bring me a good deal of money.

How does one patent an idea and such?

You with an idea, that can't be true, j/k

Go to the patentoffice (What the f*ck do I know what it's called in the states, lol) and get a patent..

Well what if it's not so much a new invention but more so like a new edition. Like say, I had an idea on a particular theme in mind for one of those ".......for Dummies" books.

Which by they way is not my idea, just trying to give an example that fits.
