4 Rules…To Avoid Intellectual Property Lawsuits
1. Patent any novel, useful application or process.
2. Make your technology suppliers sign a contract indemnifying you from patent squabbles.
3. Keep innovative technology completely secret so no one knows to sue you or steal your idea.
4. Reveal all. It costs virtually nothing to publish details of your technique on the Web and make it public property or public knowledge, preventing anyone else from patenting it.
