I'm about to submit an application for a Patent to the UK patent
office, but am unsure as to how much detail to include regarding the
physical side of my 'invention'.
Basically, what I have is mainly electronics, housed in a plastic
casing. My query I suppose is as follows;
If I include drawings of every component on the PCB, and also the
full
drawing of the final product, including battery component, screw
holes
etc etc....will this preclude me from changing the final design at
some future date ? eg I may change a component, or even decide to
make
the final shape slightly different.
OR
Do I just not put any detail in other than a 'block' diagram....won't
this allow more scope for someone else copying the idea and designing
it slightly different ??
A quandry - any advice or help much appreciated.
