US/UK Patents for innovative streaming service

質問

We want to market a new kind of streaming software which allows for vastly efficient UAV-to-ground information transmission. We have independently developed the technology behind the software and we believe that none of the companies active in this field are using the same approach. Because of this we'd like to get a patent for the technology, but we have no idea what kind of investment of time and money that requires. We were looking into US and UK patents for now, and it seems like there is a lot more to invest than just the filing fees. Could you please tell us what the average costs of comparable patenting objectives are?

Another option is a PCT application. This is probably the best option for international protection. Although it is more expensive than a national application, it will grant you initial protection in up to 148 countries. However, you will need to file for specific country/region protection no later than 30 months after the earliest filing date of your initial application. (Alternatively, you could file in the UK and then wait 12 months and file a PCT application, giving you 18 months to decide what other countries you want to file in.)
