I don't think "Evil Infringer" is a proper choice of words. Especially since both inventors are going through patent attorneys.

That's what a patent is for though - to prevnt your idea being copied and patented by a rival. If you were serious about that not wanting to happen you would patent your idea, as long as it fulfilled the above criteria.

They need to be novel i.e. the combination of features of your idea should not be found in a single document on any patent applications database e.g the UKPO. Your idea should have an inventive step that is not obvious to a person of experience in your industry, with ordinary skill. Your idea must have a relevant industrial application and preferably - for you, at least - be commercially viable. Also, it must not fall into an excluded category e.g. discoveries, surgical methods, offensive etc.

Very good inputs.
I have a question and i woould appreciate if someone answers it. If i am a inventor of a idea bud don't want to patent it. I have no problem if anybody copies my idea but i don't want to be in a situation where somebody patents the same idea and does not allow me to use it.

I think it will make sense for us to do a Provisional patent to start to market our product.
