How could I protect it the best from others stealing it away when I present it to them. : : Are there ways to get around this without aplying for a patent, trademark,... : : For example, could I mention clearly on all pages that I send out that I have ownership of the idea and keep a dated copy of the businessplan on my PC? : : thanks, : : jonathan : Dear Mr. Impens, : The best protection is a GOOD confidentiality agreement. : Ultimate protection would probably be best in the form of a patent. : The big question is whether or not the idea is patentable and then the question of how much protection can be gotten with a patent.
