Description
Britain is becoming a nation of inventors and according to the Intellectual Property Office (formerly the Patent Office), the number of people submitting ideas for patents in the UK has never been ...higher. Inspired by programmes such as Dragon's Den, home-based inventors are using ordinary consumer experiences and frustrations to dream up new products and services which they hope will earn them a fortune. This programme investigates how difficult this may be.
