Protecting Your Invention Idea

A patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret are ways to protect your invention idea. If you’re patented product is really good and you’re successful at marketing it, chances are you’re going to have to defend your rights.

  • Document everything. Keep a journal and have it witnessed along the way.



  • Conduct a patent search.



  • Get sound legal advice from a professional.



  • Use confidentiality, non-disclosure, and employment agreements with anyone and everyone with knowledge of your idea.
