i applaud your efforts to help your fellow meng.
keep it a secret until you secure a patent, then organize a press conference and license your cure to the highest bidder.

Just post up your findings here, the majority of the site's visitors come from Glaxo-SmithKline as XLT is the one stop shop for the very latest in Scientific News and Autechre speculation in the pharmaceutical community.

Fuck that. Wait until your company is on the stock exchange, build it up for about four years, and then release your discovery. You will never have to work another day in your life.

reporting it to who? if you want the scientific community to pay you any attention, speak to some acknowledged professors of some kind and have them back you when you send the theory to some scientific publication thingie. if you want normal people to know about it, call some newspaper.. they're also less critical about what they print; as long as it sounds sensational and has a broad appeal (often only down to how you formulate it), they'll print it.

yeah, well next time you rip off an idea, better make sure you give credit where it's due.
now try and guess which xlt member in this thread is actually a patent lawyer. i think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

You write an article and submit it to peer reviewed scientific journals. That's what we do here at my lab anyway.

As someone who has toured Glaxo-SmithKline's (then Glaxo-Welcome) main office/plant as a VIP (this is true!), I can confirm that they will probably already have the "cure" or "cause" and the relevant patents, they've just not got round to, or it's not cost effective, to make it yet.
As to patenting it. Good luck with that, it's hugely expensive (not so much applying for it, more defending it once you have it) and any large company can easily overturn your rights to it in a court case, simply by throwing money at a team of lawyers and waiting till you cannot afford the court costs anymore and lose by default (a family member who works at the patent office told me this).
If you are lucky enough to of made a genuine original discovery, my advice would be to accept any company prepared to buy the rights' first offer and be grateful for the money.
If it's not money you're after and really are looking to selflessly advance the state of the art and just get some recognition (and something nice on your CV), peer reviewed journals are the way to go, as Evolume says. Even if you don't hold academic qualifications in the given field, don't let that put you off. A friend had something published in one of the big psychiatry journals before he had even finished his degree.

Right on thanks for the advice!
Yeah patent stuff is harsh, I once had this idea for 3M, they sent me a letter saying that I needed to get a lawer and stuff. Since I was jobless I sort of just fucked off on the idea.
Recently a met someone who has their law degree, I would really like to follow up on these inventions and now health information. Could be fun!
Thanks for the advice, I will truely keep it in mind!
