i used to be a product designer. we would laugh at individuals getting patents on their products. the reason is large corporations have no problem stealing your idea and waiting until you sue, at which point you face their multi-million dollar lawyers. IMHO, its hopeless but it does appear somewhat professional. I recommend simply using NDAs, forget the patents..you don't stand a chance if someone wants to steal your idea. and for example, a single ink jet printer has upwards of 200-300 patents on it.
just lie that you have one when you talk casually about it, nobody will know. my $.02.
