Usage restrictions and rights
HI,
I'm working on a project right now and was considering using the Raspberry Pi in it. Its an invention, so I wanted to know if I can patent something that uses Raspberry Pi as a component. As I understand it, I can't copyright the software I develop in any way (if I am wrong about this, please correct me), but I don't know about whether I can patent an invention that uses the raspberry pi. Also, do I have to share the source code, or just the program once its developed? It doesn't matter as much regarding the software, but would still be useful, but I must know if I can patent an invention that uses the raspberry pi as a component.
please help
I did not find the right solution from the internet.
