1. Keep it a secret.
If you have an idea and you know in can drive innovation and has a commercial value, keep it safe from other people. Never disclose your idea to anyone unless you your idea is legally protected.
2. File For Legal Protection
There is no other way to appropriately protect your idea than to file a legal protection under the U.S. patent, trademark, and/or copyright laws.
3. Get Legal Help
You can't protect your idea on your own, there are times that you need the help of legal experts.
4. Market your idea.
You can't achieve success unless you market your idea. Yes, once a legal protection is granted on your idea, promote or sell it to the public.
5. Never copy anything without written permission.
You don't want your idea to be copied right? Then don't copy other people's idea as well.
6. Develop your idea
People will not invest in things they haven't seen. Take time to develop a prototype of your idea to attract investors.
7. Research
Just because you have a legal counsel, doesn't mean you go "sitting pretty" without any knowledge. Your own knowledge is your first arm of defense against infringements.
