 What do we do when we have a useful Codec?

 I have been thinking that I should write a paper and get credit for it but also I started to think I should ask about the commercial side.

Any advice of what to do?  It looks like a den of snakes when I read about all the Patent wars.

 Personally I don't have a grand hope of being rich but at the same time I would hate to see misfortune as my only solice.

 What do people do?  How do we go about contributing to science without being murdered by it.

That was a joke but the question about Codecs and what to do isn't.
