Patent for Technical Solution

Question

I have developed a software product that is a new solution to a common algorithmic problem. I think I could build a business around it, but the technology can best leveraged by larger companies. If I want to protect my idea and launch the service on my own, should I get a patent for that? Is there another good way to sell the product?

Getting a patent is probably your best bet - either way you go - launching your own service or selling the patent to a large company. Either way, if you obtain the patent, you have valuable intellectual property rights.
