Protecting Ideas From Being Lost or Stolen

[Shah Alam Kabir Pramanik]

Step 1
The idea should be put in a tangible form such as entered into a physical idea logbook or saved on a computer disk, and the date the idea was first thought of should be entered.
Step 2
The idea should be secured. This may seem like an obvious step, but is often overlooked.
Step 3
Avoid making an inadvertent or voluntary disclosure of an idea, in a manner that forfeits the right to claim exclusive rights to it.
