Two Notes of Caution

   
1.

microFunding really does give Inventors a better chance of making serious money from their ideas; but it is not a guarantee. Without microFunding it's a bit like winning the Lottery; with microFunding, it's like getting a Lottery prize: a lot easier, but still a 'one-in-several' chance.

   
2.

The law and practice of protecting Intellectual Property is well defined.
Inventors must be very careful not to disclose their ideas to anyone (other than qualified professionals - see below) without a clear ‘Confidentiality Agreement’, also called a ‘non disclosure agreement’. A draft version of such an agreement is downloadable from this site.

Be very careful when describing your idea in public; if you have ANY CONCERNS AT ALL about telling anyone about your idea, don’t do it. Get professional advice first. Failure to observe this caution might reduce the value of your idea to ZERO.

This note does NOT apply to Patent Agents, Intellectual Property Attorneys or Lawyers who are all already committed by their professional codes of ethics to maintain confidentiality.
