Going to be a tough row to hoe, because patenting software is *very*
difficult.  First thing required is to have working code to patent.  An
"idea" won't cut it.  The patent laws are very tightly constrained to
make
it nearly impossible to patent software of any form.

We have an annual patent discussion here with the UAB patent attorneys
coming to give an overview of what has changed.  It's much easier to
patent a device, or a drug, rather than a piece of software..  We don't
even try...
