Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California

Re: protecting intellectual property

Depends on the nature of the "idea". You have to be more specific if you expect any useful information in any reply. Call or write me with specifics and perhaps I can assist you. You appear to need legal help to protect your idea.

This is usually done within nondisclosure agreement. You have an attorney make up a contract which you can use as a form. Before you reveal any confidential information, you fill up the form and have been signed its acknowledging that they are receiving confidential information and that they are promising to keep it confidential in the event that your networking with them does not result in some sort of business deal.
