Eureka Moments
Doug,
What are the best or most appropriate ways to enlist your or other organizations' services in a way that preserves one's rights to a concept such that others cannot "steal" it prior to securing patent, copyright, trademark or other protection?
I am a Procter & Gamble alumnus and had the privilege of attending one of your Eureka! Ranch seminars. It was a scintillating experience to say the least!
I currently have 3 ideas, one of which directly plays into your company's suite of service lines. A key challenge I face, as I am sure most inventors do, is how to progress inventions/concepts quickly while ensuring it is done it a way that preserves the creator's rights to the launch and consequent monetization of an idea. Specifically, how does one quickly and accurately gauge who they can trust as they advance their ideas? I have no empirical data to support this notion, but my gut instinct suggests that many ideas go stale because would inventors do not know how to properly cultivate ideas in light of the dynamic I described.
This would make for an interesting topic on your BrainBrew radio program.
Regards,
Plato
