Protecting Your Intellectual Property 

Having your own business idea and now what you want to do is to have the strategies on how to protect it from being snatched by the outsiders. For such big investors, stealing the business idea could seriously harm their reputation in the business world. However, we should not be careless. Instead, we are only highlighting the necessities while keeping them interested and not seeing it as a financial risk as we go through the business plan. It's worth notice to ask for your partners, your potential investors or whoever you discuss your business plan with to sign the non-disclosure agreement. Moreover, getting the legal patent if you feel confident and having the financial support to keep it under your name. You might need an attorney if you are not sure about the steps to apply for the patent or just simply ask them for legal advice or what to be concerned during the process. The file could be easily found at USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office.) Most important, we have to keep every document related to the business idea and managing the number of copies if you have ever planned to give to anyone. Protecting your Intellectual Property is crucial as it helps to tide the investors to your proposal and to get the most out of the deal.
