I am a Patent Attorney with specific interest in microcontrollers and am a great fan of Flowcode. I have specific experience of patenting microcontroller based applications. If you have a commercial interest in obtaining patent protection then drop me a line.
My rates are competetive for this specialist area, but attorney time is not cheap. However, drop me a line dfrom the forum for a free chat.
For information - software per se is not patentable in Europe but applications that have an interaction with the outside world often are - if they are new and inventive that is.

Mark (Houghton)
