It is one of the most common questions I get asked:

"Nick, I have a great idea but I don't want to share it with anyone in case they steal it.

How can I prevent someone from stealing my idea?"

Wow, if I had a penny for every time I heard that.

In the insights here, I go through the three major ways that you can protect your ideas:

  • Trademarks
  • Copyrights
  • Patents

I also go through the slightly more controversial topic of why you probably don't need to worry about someone stealing your ideas at all.
