I think "idea" and "app" are quite different. I think you can only register and "idea" using a patent (and even with no prototype in the states :S). See, for example, the Apple patent on multitouch devices.
It's really anoying as patents were born to protect people who had the ideas but not the money to build them and nowadays, as registering a patent is show expensive, it only helps big companies to ban competence from smaller ones :P Raphael escribió: > You should consult a lawyer.
