Our intellectual property attorney, A. Justin Lum, was interviewed by Steve Thompson, writer of 245 Days to Go, a blog for small business and startup entrepreneurs and Contented Writing.

One of the biggest issues for a startup business is protecting your ideas. Every startup is built on the solid foundation of an idea and the passion of an individual. We can all see a niche in the market or something that has never been tried before. As an entrepreneur, you look to develop what you offer every day so customers can see your product or service and flock to you. This is how success is made.

But without the proper protections in place, you are vulnerable to other businesses and unscrupulous operators. Something needs to be done. Don’t worry – there is help at hand.
